Dear old daddy-long legs / words by Neville Fleeson music by Albert Von Tilzer

VERSE 01: I’m writing you dear Mary just to say/I saw you in a picture yesterday,/You’re ev’rybody’s sweetheart, that I know/For ev’rybody seems to love you so./When I heard “Daddy Long-Legs” was to be your picture too,/I sat right down and wrote a song,/I’m sending it to you,
VERSE 02: Now if you like this little song I wrote/Just send to me a tiny little note,/Forgive me, dear, for taking up your time/I hope you like my simple little rhyme./I know you must be worried, dear, with letters ev’ry day,/I simply had to write you./I can hear you softly say.
CHORUS: Dear old Daddy Long Legs you’re the world to me/Dear old Daddy Long Legs you will always be/For you bring the sunshine ev’rywhere you go always want you near me, when the shadows ‘round me creep/I’m always praying for you when I lay me down to sleep/Dear old Daddy Long Legs,/I’m in love with you.
