EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER - Daddy lyrics

rate me

It was a cold night in december<br>The snow lay on the ground<br>She was coming home from school one night<br>From the other side of town<br>It was getting late, there was something wrong<br>Then I heard the news<br>A tv flash and by 9 o'clock<br>They'd found her socks and shoes<br><br>Daddy come and bring me home<br><br>I didn't know which way to turn<br>I was shaking like a leaf<br>I got into my car and drove<br>Searching every street<br>Has anybody seen her<br>Have you found my little girl<br>She's all I have, all I possess<br>And to me, she means the world<br><br>I can hear her calling<br>Daddy come and bring me home<br>Daddy, daddy come and bring me home<br>Daddy, when are you gonna bring me home<br><br>As time went by each silent night<br>We knew all hope was gone<br>We knew the light had flickered<br>From the eyes that once had shone<br>They caught a man in a bar one night<br>He confessed to what he'd done<br>He'd laid her body out in some dark wood<br>Just didn't know which one,<br>Daddy, daddy come and bring me home<br>Daddy, daddy come and bring me home<br><br>I just couldn't leave her out there<br>Lying on her own<br>'cause she belongs to me<br>And I belong to her<br>I know she rests in heaven<br>With the angels on a throne<br>But now I hear her calling<br>Daddy, daddy come and bring me home<br>Daddy come and bring me home<br>Daddy, daddy come and bring me home<br>Daddy, daddy come and bring me home
