The Monkees - Daddy's Song (long version) Lyrics

Lyrics Daddy's Song (long version) - The Monkees



Years ago I knew a man
He was my mother′s biggest fan
We used to walk beside the sea
And he'd tell me how my life would be
When I grew up to be a man
Years ago we used to play
He used to laugh when I ran away
But when I fell and hurt my knee
He would run to comfort me
And the pain would go away
Years ago I knew a boy
He was his daddy′s pride and joy
But when the daddy went away
It was such a rainy day
That he brought out all his toys
Now the momma did explain
Tryin' to take away the pain
But he just couldn't understand
That his father was not a man
And it all was just a game
The years have passed and so have I
Makin′ it hard for me to cry
And if and when, I have a son
Let it all be said and done
Let that sadness pass him by
Years ago I knew a man
He was my mother′s biggest fan
We used to walk beside the sea
And he'd tell me how my life would be
When I grew up to be a man
Years ago we used to play
He used to laugh when I ran away
But when I fell and hurt my knee
He would run to comfort me
And the pain would go away
