To Daddy - 2003 Remaster

Mama never seemed to miss the finer things of life
 If she did, she never did say so to daddy
 She never wanted to be more than a 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 all alone, but she didn't mind the staying home
 If she did, she never did say so to daddy
 And she never missed the flowers, and the cards he never sent her
 If she did, she never did say so to daddy
 Being took for granted was a thing that she accepted
 And she didn't need those things to make her happy
 And she didn't seem to notice that he didn'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 he began to read it, our ears could not believe it
 The words she had written there to daddy
 She said, "The kids are older now, they don't need me very much
 And I've gone to search of love I need so badly
 I have needed you so long but I just can't keep holding on"
 She never meant to come back home
 If she did, she never did say so to daddy
 Goodbye to daddy
