Welcome to my "Sound Click" web pages. I am a Storyteller and a psalmist , a talker of music. and a writter. Please visit my Home Page at www.countrylovin.us or go to my link page here on SC and click on the link there. All my web pages are family safe,so please feel free to email my links to your family and friends. Here is a little about myself: TOM TRIPP's love for country music can be traced back to his growing up on a small Kansas dirt farm. Tom was the youngest of seven children. His father was a storyteller (as his father was, and his father before him). Tom's father and mother both worked hard to keep their family fed. At the end of a long day, his father would sit next to the old coal-burning stove and tell stories about growing up in the coalfields of southeast Kansas, and of his many adventures in life. Tom learned the art of storytelling at an early age in life, and it can be heard in the stories and songs he writes today. Tom has traveled across every state in the USA but two... Alaska and Hawaii. When asked why he hasn't visited those states yet, Tom just smiles and says: "I always leave the best for last, and my life is far from over." Tom has looked down upon this old earth from the top of the Rocky Mountains. He has watched the sun rise and set over two oceans. He has traveled through the hot desert and walked upon the frozen ponds of the northland, but he has always returned to Kansas... the place where he hangs his hat. Tom Tripp is the proud parent of 4 grown children , Jason , Chris , Nicole and Gina and a Grandfather of 4.

Lyrics
Daddy for a day aka mommy for a day I go to see my little girl each Sunday afternoon And how I dread the words I know she'll say She'll ask me when I'm coming home, I'll answer pretty soon But I know I'm just her Daddy for a day CHORUS: She's much too young to realize why Daddy can't come home And that her Momma wanted things this way We kiss goodbye and my heart breaks, to walk away alone To have to be a Daddy for a day I love her Mom with all my heart, they lied and ruined our home Oh! why did she believe the things they'd say I pray in time She'll change her mind and take me back once more Then I'll not be a Daddy for a day REPEAT CHORUS
