Daddy 1907

Sometimes I sigh with a vain regret,
longing for the happy days
I can't forget,
for I feel the world grow colder,
day by day as I grow older.
Joys may be mine,
as they doubtless will
yet I shall be dreaming
of my childhood still,
for I never have been half so glad
as in the hours I spent
with dear old Dad,
I love him.

Daddy I think of you ever
you are so good and so true,
thro' the smiles and the tears
of my dear childish years,
there was no one so tender as you
Dear Daddy.
Sometime the world was unkind dear,
sometimes I knew you were sad;
but your eyes all the while
were the same gentle smile,
Dear old Dad.

Daddy I think of you ever
you are so good and so true,
thro' the smiles and the tears
of my dear childish years,
there was no one so tender as you,
Dear Daddy.
Sometimes the world was unkind dear
sometimes I knew you were sad;
but your eyes all the while
wore the same gentle smile,
Dear old Dad.

Daddy I think of you ever
you are so good and so true,
thro' the smiles and the tears
of my dear childish years,
there was no one so tender as you,
Dear Daddy.
Sometimes the world was unkind dear
sometimes I knew you were sad;
but your eyes all the while
wore the same gentle smile,
Dear old Dad.
