Why Don’t Daddy Live Here Anymore Lyrics by Bonnie Owens

Queen Of The Coast

0

[Chorus]
My little boy looks up at me with big tears in his eyes
And asks me what did daddy leave us for
I feel a pain run through my heart when he cries these helpless words
Mommy why don't daddy live here anymore
[Verse 1]
I try to tell my little boy why his daddy moved away
But somehow I just can't seem to find the right words to say
His daddy he loves another woman now and he left us to be with her
That's why he only comes to visit now don't come home to stay
[Chorus]
I feel a pain run through my heart when he cries these hеlpless words
Mommy why don't daddy live herе anymore
[Verse 2]
I tell him his daddy loves him and he'll come to see him when he can
And that he should try his best to be a little man
But in his eyes I-I see a child whose heart has lost all hope
And it hurts to know that he's still too young to understand
[Chorus]
My little boy looks up at me with big tears in his eyes
And asks me what did daddy leave us for
I feel a pain run through my heart when he cries these helpless words
Mommy why don't daddy live here anymore
