What About Daddy

Lyrics
We courted for so long, It seemed way back then,
And how hard it was for you, To say good night at 10,
You kissed me so tenderly, I'd just melt in your arms,
You asked for my hand that night, And I soon left the farm.

Chorus
You said to my Daddy,
A promise you made,
To take good care of me,
Till your dying day,

My daddy he trusted you, He had tears in his eyes
When you looked right at me, and you said with a smile
I’ll love you forever, “I do,” you said proudly
We kissed and you took my hand, I said good bye to daddy

Chorus
You said to my Daddy,
A promise you made,
To take good care of me,
Till your dying day,

Now it’s been so long, since you went away
I’m sortin’ through our things, that I’ll throw away
I cry as the memories, in the garbage they fall
Holdin’ our wedding picture, these words I call.

Chorus
But what about Daddy,
And the promise you made,
To take good care of me,
Till your dying day,
You said how you loved me,
And you'd just die inside,
If you couldn't have me,
Right there by your side
