Lyrics

Daddy Could You Spare A Little TimeĀ© 2011 Janet Steely

Daddy could you spare / just a little time?
pieces of your heart / pieces of your mind?
a bit of you I can embrace / when I cant see your face?
Daddy could you spare / just a little time?

Daddy could you spare a look or two my way
You don't even know me / you just turn away.
You say I look just like my mother
she is gone but i'm still here
daddy could you spare / just a little time

Is there room in your heart for me
Am I pushed aside by old memories
I've saved a piece of my heart it's true
Here take it Daddy
It's only for you

Verse
Dad do you recall times of distant past
When we were a family picnics in the grass
In a heart beat it was shattered
Such a loss for you and me
Years have come and gone. I need you desperately

CHORUS:
Daddy could you spare just a little time
Pieces of your heart pieces of your mind
The future will be brighter with you here in my heart
It's a place that I've been saving Saving from the start
