To Daddy

[00:19.46] Momma never seemed to miss the
[00:24.27] Finer things in life
[00:25.95] If she did, she never did say so to
[00:27.51] Daddy
[00:28.87] She never wanted to be more than
[00:29.73] Mother and a wife
[00:30.80] If she did, she never did say so to
[00:31.74] Daddy
[00:33.03] The only things that seemed to be
[00:35.97] Important in her life
[00:39.50] Was to make our house a home
[00:41.00] And make us happy
[00:41.91] Momma never wanted anymore
[00:47.07]
[00:49.52] Than what she had
[00:50.43] If she did, she never did say so to
[00:51.30] Daddy
[00:55.30] He often left her all alone
[01:00.86] She didn't mind the stayin' home
[01:04.76] If she did, she never did say so to
[01:05.64] Daddy
[01:10.22] And she never missed the flowers
[01:14.58] And the gifts he never gave her
[01:15.01] If she did, she never did say so to
[01:16.03] Daddy
[01:18.57]
[01:26.04] Being took for granted was a thing
[01:26.94] That she accepted
[01:28.01] And she didn't need those things to
[01:29.36] Make her happy
[01:30.29] She didn't even seem to notice
[01:35.83] That he didn't kiss and hold her
[01:38.76] If she did, she never did say so to
[01:40.05] Daddy
[01:42.32]
[01:44.40] One morning we awoke
[01:45.52] Just to find the note
[01:49.37] That momma carefully wrote
[01:53.77] And left to daddy
[01:54.96] And as he began to read it
[01:56.87] Our ears could not believe it
[01:58.80] The words that she had written
[02:03.27] There to daddy
[02:04.13] She said our kids are old enough
[02:08.41]
[02:11.21] And they don't need me very much
[02:13.67] So I've gone in search for love I
[02:16.76] Need so badly
[02:17.93] I have needed you so long
[02:20.41] But I just can't keep holdin' on
[02:21.75] She never meant to come back
[02:25.48]
[02:27.51] Home
[02:28.38] If she did, she never did say so to
[02:29.31] Daddy
[02:30.26] Momma's gone
[02:32.69] Good-bye to daddy
[02:34.17]
