Dolly Parton — Daddy Wont Be Home Anymore

[Verse 1] As I look around the little house we were so happy in I think of all the happy times we'll never see again Then I break down and start to cry, the children ask what for I can't find a way to tell them that Daddy won't be home anymore Each night before they go to sleep they fold their little hands And say a prayer for Daddy fighting in their far-off land So tonight I'll help them say their prayers like I've always done before God give me courage to tell them that Daddy won't be home anymore [Verse 2] But honey as for me there'll never be another man And I'll bring our children up the best way that I can You died for what you thought was right that much I know for sure But the children just can't understand why Daddy won't be home anymore [Outro] No the children just don't understand why Daddy won't be home anymore
