DOLLY PARTON - To Daddy lyrics

rate me

Momma never seemed to miss the finer things in life<br>If she did, she never did say so to daddy<br>She never wanted to be more than mother and a wife<br>If she did, she never did say so to daddy<br>The only things that seemed to be important in her life<br>Was to make our house a home and make us happy<br>Momma never wanted anymore than what she had<br>If she did, she never did say so to daddy<br><br>He often left her all alone<br>She didn't mind the stayin' home<br>If she did, she never did say so to daddy<br>And she never missed the flowers<br>And the gifts he never gave her<br>If she did, she never did say so to daddy<br><br>Being took for granted was a thing that she accepted<br>And she didn't need those things to make her happy<br>She didn't even seem to notice<br>That he didn't kiss and hold her<br>If she did, she never did say so to daddy<br><br>Chorus:<br><br>One morning we awoke<br>Just to find the note<br>That momma carefully wrote<br>And left to daddy<br>And as he began to read it<br>Our ears could not believe it<br>The words that she had written there to daddy<br><br>She said our kids are old enough<br>And they don't need me very much<br>So I've gone in search for love I need so badly<br>I have needed you so long<br>But I just can't keep holdin' on<br>She never meant to come back home<br>If she did, she never did say so to daddy<br><br>Tag:<br><br>Momma's gone<br>Good-bye to daddy
