Daddy went off to fly an airplane
in a long-ago war..
There wasn't any confusion
He knew what he was fightin' for
Figured he was protectin'
His wife and family..
Fighting for our freedom
And for democracy.
When you comin' home, Daddy?
Will I see you soon?
You've never said goodbye, Daddy...
Is that your face on the moon?
I grew up with your picture
hangin' on my wall..
Sometimes I cried and wondered
If you were alive at all.
I couldn't take not knowin'
Waiting is the hardest part.
It takes so long mending
A sad and broken heart.
When you comin' home, Daddy?
Are you really gone?
I think of you and cry, Daddy
It's so hard to go on – wo-oah
When you comin' home, Daddy?
Will I see you soon?
You never said goodbye, Daddy
Is that your face... in the moon?
in a long-ago war..
There wasn't any confusion
He knew what he was fightin' for
Figured he was protectin'
His wife and family..
Fighting for our freedom
And for democracy.
When you comin' home, Daddy?
Will I see you soon?
You've never said goodbye, Daddy...
