Artist/Band: Dolly Parton
Lyrics for Song: To Daddy
Lyrics for Album: The Great [2004]



(Dolly Parton)



Mama never seemed to miss the finer things in life

If she did, she never did say so to daddy

She never wanted to be more than mother and a wife

If she did, she never did say so to daddy.



The only thing that seemed to be important in her life

Was to make our house a home and make us happy

Mama never wanted any more than what she had

If she did, she never did say so to daddy.



He often left her alone, she didn't mind the stayin' home

If she did, she never did say so to daddy

And she never missed the flowers and the gifts he never gave her

If she did, she never did say so to daddy.



Being took for granted was a that thing that she accepted

And she don't need those things to make her happy

And she didn't seem to notice that he don't kiss and hold her

If she did, she never did say so to daddy.



One morning we awoke just to find a note

That mama carefully wrote and left to daddy

And as we began to read it out ears could not beleive it

The words that she had written there to daddy.



She said, "Our kids are older now, they don't need me very much

And I've gone in search for love I need so badly

I have needed you so long but I just can't keep holdin' on."

She never meant to come back home

If she did, she never did say so to daddy.



Goodbye to daddy...
