VERSE 01: Take my head on your shoulder, Daddy,/Turn your face to the west,/It is just the hour when the sky turns gold,/The hour that mother loves best,/The day has been long without you, Daddy,/You’ve been such a while away/And now you’re as tired of your work, Daddy,/As I am tired of my play | |
/But I’ve got you, and you’ve got me,/So ev’rything seems right./I wonder if mother is thinking of us,/Because it is my birthday night.VERSE 02: Why do your big tears fall, Daddy?/Mother’s not far away | |
/I often seem to hear her voice/Falling across my play | |
/And it sometimes makes me cry, Daddy,/To think it’s none of it true | |
/Till I fall asleep to dream, Daddy,/Of home, and mother, and you | |
/For I’ve got you, and you’ve got me,/So ev’rything may go./We’re all the world to each other, Daddy,/For mother, dear mother, once told me so.CHORUS: Sometimes afraid to think, Daddy,/When I am big like you,/And you are old and gray, Daddy,/What you and I would do,/If when we got up to heaven,/And mother was waiting there,/She shouldn’t remember the two she left/So sad and so lonely here,/But year by year still sees no change,/And so ‘twill all be right,/We shall always meet her in our dreams./Daddy goodnight, Daddy, goodnight, dear Daddy, dear Daddy, good night, good night. | |
