Daddy Come Home
Oh, oh-oh
Daddy's been gone
Gone for so long
For him, I pray
He joined the corps
Fighting a war
Somewhere far away
He promised me he'd return
When the Chanukah candles burn
So here I wait
The blessings I recite
By the candlelight
But it's getting late
Daddy come home
Stay with me
Let me hold your hand
Let me sit upon your knee
I see fear
In mommy's eyes
Every time she cries
And tries to comfort me
It's scary here at home
My mind begins to roam
Have I lost you?
I hear the phone
Mommy's mournful moan
It can't be true
Daddy come home
Stay with me
Let me hold your hand
Let me sit upon your knee
I see fear
In mommy's eyes
Every time she cries
And tries to comfort me
Where has he gone?
How will I carry on?
Tell me, what can I say?
I need to pray
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Please hear my plea
Send my daddy home to
Who's that, I hear
Calling my name?
I run into his arms
Yes, my daddy came
Home to me
He's on his knees
Now he's holding me
For all eternity
(Now, as night falls) now, as night falls
(We stand tall) we stand tall
(Eight candles burning bright) eight candles burning bright
(And they're lighting up the night)
Home at last (home at last)
Eyes aglow (eyes aglow)
I hug my daddy tight
And I'm not letting go
Daddy's been gone
Gone for so long
For him, I pray
He joined the corps
Fighting a war
Somewhere far away
He promised me he'd return
When the Chanukah candles burn
So here I wait
The blessings I recite
By the candlelight
But it's getting late
Daddy come home
Stay with me
Let me hold your hand
Let me sit upon your knee
I see fear
In mommy's eyes
Every time she cries
And tries to comfort me
It's scary here at home
My mind begins to roam
Have I lost you?
I hear the phone
Mommy's mournful moan
It can't be true
Daddy come home
Stay with me
Let me hold your hand
Let me sit upon your knee
I see fear
In mommy's eyes
Every time she cries
And tries to comfort me
Where has he gone?
How will I carry on?
Tell me, what can I say?
I need to pray
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Please hear my plea
Send my daddy home to
Who's that, I hear
Calling my name?
I run into his arms
Yes, my daddy came
Home to me
He's on his knees
Now he's holding me
For all eternity
(Now, as night falls) now, as night falls
(We stand tall) we stand tall
(Eight candles burning bright) eight candles burning bright
(And they're lighting up the night)
Home at last (home at last)
Eyes aglow (eyes aglow)
I hug my daddy tight
And I'm not letting go
