Daddy's Home

Every evening before supper
I'd listen as the cars drove by
In hopes the next one in would be
It would be him
After what always seemed like hours
He'd finally make it to our home
I would wait with baited breath
For him to show
And the only thing I know
All I'd ever need -
Daddy's home
So I'd...

(Chorus)
Dash across the kitchen floor
Down through the hall to the oak wood door
Then I'd jump into his arms the moment he crossed the threshhold
He'd say, "Hello Mama, how was your day?"
She'd say, "Now you're home all will be okay."
No matter how it was
You know there's just something special
When Daddy's home

Though he worked so hard to feed us
still he'd grab his mitt and say
"Come on son go get yours, come on
Let's go and play"
It's no wonder before bedtime
I'd hear him climb up to my room
Just to say goodnight and say that I love you
One day I hope and pray he'll know
That I love him too
For now I... (chorus)

Years go by and the time sure flies
And I'm a Dad now of my own
Sometimes responsibilities and needs
Makes me wish that I could go, and ...

Dash across the kitchen floor
Down through the hall to my own front door
Then I'd jump into his arms the moment he crossed the threshhold
He'd say, "Hello Buddy, how was your day?"
I'd say, "Now you're here all will be okay."
No matter what I face
You know there's just something special
You know there's just something special
You know there's just something special
When Daddy's home

Every evening before supper
I listen as the cars go by
In hopes the next one in would be
It would be him
