VERSE 01: I just can remember my mother,/Angels one day, took her away,/You took her place with a smile on your face,/That’s why I’m happy to say:VERSE 02: The leaves of the autumn are falling,/Deep in your eyes, are winter skies,/You were my friend, always there to defend,/I’ll be your boy, till the end:CHORUS 01: Daddy, dear old daddy,/You’ve been more than a daddy to me,/You might have gone with the boys ev’ry night,/You gave them up just to bring me up right | |
/Daddy, dear old daddy,/Way up above she can see,/You were more than a dad,/You’re the best friend I had | |
/Daddy, you’ve been a mother to me.CHORUS 02: Daddy, dear old daddy,/You’ve been more than a daddy to me,/You might have held someone else on your knee,/You keep a place there for no one but me | |
Daddy, dear old daddy,/Way up above she can see,/You’ve been more than a pal,/You’ve been more than a gal | |
/Daddy, you’ve been a mother to me. | |
