Monkees Daddy`s Song (alt Version) Lyrics

Daddy`s Song (alt Version) Lyrics

Years ago I knew a man

He was my mother's biggest fan

We used to walk beside the sea

And he'd tell me how my life would be

When I grew up to be a man



Years ago we used to play

He used to laugh when I ran away

But when I fell and hurt my knee

He would run to comfort me

And the pain would go away



Years ago I knew a boy

He was his daddy's pride and joy

But when the daddy went away

It was such a rainy day

That he brought out all his toys



Now the momma did explain

Tryin' to take away the pain

But he just couldn't understand

That his father was not a man

And it all was just a game



The years have passed and so have I

Makin' it hard for me to cry

And if and when, I have a son

Let it all be said and done

Let that sadness pass him by



Years ago I knew a man

He was my mother's biggest fan

We used to walk beside the sea

And he'd tell me how my life would be

When I grew up to be a man



Years ago we used to play

He used to laugh when I ran away

But when I fell and hurt my knee

He would run to comfort me

And the pain would go away
