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 pay
"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"
