[Verse 1]
The love between the two of us was dying
and it got so bad I knew I had to leave.
But halfway down that highway when I turned around I saw
my little daughter running after me, cry - ing
 
[Chorus]
Daddy, don't you walk so fast,
daddy, don't you walk so fast.
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run,
daddy, don't you walk so fast.
 
 
[Verse 2]
Now, it broke my heart to tell my little daughter
that her daddy had to run to catch a train.
She had no way of knowin' I was leavin' home for good,
I turned around and there she was again, cry - ing
 
[Chorus]
Daddy, don't you walk so fast,
daddy, don't you walk so fast.
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run,
daddy, don't you walk so fast.
 
[Verse 3] (Key Change to Eb, read above)
If only for the sake of my sweet daughter
I just had to turn back home right there and then.
And try to start a new life with the mother of my child
I couldn't bear to hear those words again. When she  said
 
[End-Chorus]
Daddy, don't you walk so fast,
Daddy, don't you walk so fast
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run
Daddy, don't you walk so fast, won't you
slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run
daddy, don't you walk so fast
