Little boy running through the yard
Fell and skinned his heart
And later climbed up in a tree
As he looked into the sky
He began to cry
And said: Daddy, why'd you leave?

Call me daddy, I'm feelin' blue
Call me daddy, I need to talk to you
Call me daddy, help me through
And then he bowed his head to pray
"Call me dad"

The little boy became a man
Found a bride and took her hand
And made a baby all their own
As he looked in that baby's eyes
As the baby cried
He swore: You'll never be alone

Call me daddy when you're feelin' blue
Call me daddy and I'll talk to you
Call me daddy and I'll help you through
And then he bowed his head to pray
Call me dad

Another life has come and gone
Another baby's grown
And stands alone against the world
As he looks into the sky
He begins to cry
And says: Daddy, I miss you

Call me daddy, I'm feelin' blue
Call me daddy, I need to talk to you
Call me daddy, help me through
And then he bowed his head to pray
Call me dad
