daddy

Lyrics

it was a cold night in december, the snow lay on the ground, she was coming home from school one night, from the other side of town, it was getting late, there was something wrong, then i heard the news, a tv flash and by 9 o'clock, they'd found her socks and shoes, daddy come and bring me home, i didn't know which way to turn, i was shaking like a leaf, i got into my car and drove, searching every street, has anybody seen her, have you found my little girl, she's all i have, all i possess, and to me, she means the world, i can hear her calling, daddy come and bring me home, daddy, daddy come and bring me home, daddy, when are you gonna bring me home, as time went by each silent night, we knew all hope was gone, we knew the light had flickered, from the eyes that once had shone, they caught a man in a bar one night, he confessed to what he'd done, he'd laid her body out in some dark wood, just didn't know which one, daddy, daddy come and bring me home, daddy, daddy come and bring me home, i just couldn't leave her out there, lying on her own, 'cause she belongs to me, and i belong to her, i know she rests in heaven, with the angels on a throne, but now i hear her calling, daddy, daddy come and bring me home, daddy come and bring me home, daddy, daddy come and bring me home, daddy, daddy come and bring me home
