Daddy's Song Lyrics

by Harry Nilsson

Years ago, I knew a man,

He was my mother's biggest fan,

We used to walk beside the sea,

And he told me how 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.

How the momma did explain,

Trying 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,

Making it hard for me to cry,

And if and when I have a son,

Let it all be said and done,

Let the sadness pass him by.
