One day it will come...Make the most of your time now.

DADDY WHY?

SHE SAID DADDY WHY DO YOU ALWAYS STAY IN THIS PLACE?
ITS SO QUIET I CANT HEAR, STERILE WHITE WALLS EVERYWHERE
NONE OF THOSE KIDS ARE PLAYIN. WHAT COULD BE SO BAD
TO MAKE ALL YOU DADDIES SO SAD?

A DISTANT BUGLE MOURNS ANOTHER PASSING DAY
THEYRE CLOSE TO HEAVEN, BUT SHE CANT STAY

CHORUS
DADDY WHY DO SHOOTING STARS GO BY,
TOO FAST TO CATCH AND
WHEN ARE THEY GONNA MAKE MY WISH COME TRUE
DADDY WHY, DONT ALL THE ANGELS FLY,
TO CARRY YOU HOME CUZ
DADDY I HOPE I SEE YOU AGAIN REAL SOON
DADDY WHY?

SHE SAID DADDY WHY DONT YOU COME HOME, I REALLY MISS YOU
MAYBE YOU JUST HAVE A COLD SO I MADE CHICKEN SOUP FOR YOU
BUT THAT GOT MAMA CRYIN, DID I DO SOMETHING BAD
THATS MAKIN MAMA SO SAD?

CHORUS

CRAYON SOLDIERS ON THE WALL SALUTE THEIR HEROS FATE
DOCTOR UPS THE MORPHINE, AND SADLY LOOKS AWAY

DADDY WHY DOES JESUS WANT YOU, IN HEAVEN SO SOON?
WHO WILL TEACH ME HOW TO DANCE? WHO WILL WALK ME HOME FROM SCHOOL?
WHY ARE THE NURSES CRYIN? DONT THEY KNOW WHAT TO DO?
DO THEY MISS THEIR DADDIES TOO?

LIKE DESERT SAND, HIS GENTLE HAND SLIPS A-WAY
SHE PULLS IT TO HER HEART AND BEGS FORONE MORE DAY.

CHORUS: SUBSTITUE LAST 2 LINES WITH:

BLESS YOU DADDY, ILL SEE YOU AGAIN.REAL SOON
