paul smith (us) - daddy came home last night lyrics
“daddy came home last night!”
her words rang like a steeple bell
little girl from up the street
all dressed in sunday best
could hardly wait for someone to tell
she said, “we’re going to church this morning
to thank the lord proper and right
momma said to run down and tell you the news
because daddy came home last night”
he was an everyday american man
who lost his american dream
out of work and out of luck
and out of patience, packed his truck
he left one day last spring
n0body knows where an angry man goes
when he’s running hopeless and scared
but the prayers of his neighbors
his wife and his daughter
they followed him everywhere
they followed him everywhere
“daddy came home last night!
later on we’re gonna go to the park
we’re gonna play on the swings
feed the ducks on the pond
we’re gonna stay until dark
he said he’s got a lot of catching up to do
on all the simple treasures of life
momma says the angels are dancing in heaven
because daddy came home last night!”
somewhere in the confusion of an unfair world
it’s hard to know just what you’ve got ’til it’s gone
right out in the middle of your running away
you find the grass is really greener at home
but only prayer could ever reach his heart
and open his blind eyes to see
only prayer could ever cover the distance
to bring him back to where he should be
to bring him back to where he should be
“daddy came home last night!
he said he’s never leaving again
he wrapped his arms around us
he held us so tight
he said forgive me for the trouble i’ve been
momma says we’re gonna start all over
that everything will be all right
(it’s gonna be all right)
’cause god really cares
he answered our prayers
and daddy came home last night”
(daddy came home)
as i watched her walk away
her smile told her story
how faith becomes a beautiful sight
and out in my front yard
i started dancing with the angels
singing, “daddy came home last night!”
(daddy came home, daddy came home)
(daddy came home, daddy came home last night)
“daddy came home last night!”
(daddy came home, daddy came home last night)
“daddy came home last night!”
(daddy came home, daddy came home last night)
whoa+whoa…
(daddy came home, daddy came home last night)
yeah, “daddy came home last night!”
her words rang like a steeple bell
little girl from up the street
all dressed in sunday best
could hardly wait for someone to tell
she said, “we’re going to church this morning
we’re gonna thank the lord proper and right
momma said the angels are dancing in heaven
’cause daddy came home last night”
“daddy came home last night!”
“daddy came home last night!”
(she said)
momma says we’re gonna start all over
that everything will be all right
(it’s gonna be all right)
god really cares, he answered our prayers
’cause daddy came home last night”
daddy came home last night
daddy came home
yeah, it was a beautiful sight
