Ooohhh ooohhhh Daddy It's been so long Since I heard your recorder play And I would sing along I've been working on the railroad That's the song we used to play Well I was to young to know that we were losing you And how hard it was to stay Ooooh Daddy Years ago I had a dream I was standing on a hillside Playing my violin I had my eyes closed A glorious sound arose That filled my heart with joy When I opened my eyes You were standing by I just looked at your face We didn't speak or embrace But I could tell you knew But the music could bring And light the childs wings OOooohh OOhhh Daddy To bad you had to leave so soon I'd like to tell you How rich my life has been And play a song for you I'd like to tell you
