Emmylou Harris - To Daddy Lyrics

Lyrics To Daddy - Emmylou Harris



Mama never seemed to miss the finer things in life
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
She never wanted to be more than mother and a wife
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
The only thing that seemed to be important in her life
Was to make our house a home and make us happy
Mama never wanted any more than what she had
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
He often left her all alone, cheated ma' into staying home
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
And she never missed the flowers and the cards
He never sent her, if she did, she never did say so to daddy
Being took for granted was a thing that she accepted
And she didn't need those things to make her happy
And she didn't seem to notice that he didn't kiss and hold her
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
One morning we awoke
Just to find a note mama carefully wrote and left for daddy
And as he began to read it, our ears could not believe it
Words she had written there to daddy
She said, "The kids were older now, they don't need me anymore
I've gone to search for love I need so badly
I needed you so long, but I just can't keep holding on"
She never meant to come back home, if she did, she never did say so to daddy
Goodbye to daddy
