Eddy Arnold — My Daddy Is Only A Picture

I asked a little boy to call his daddy He said he couldn't and sighed And when I asked him what was wrong Here's what the little boy replied My Daddy is only a picture In a frame that hangs on the wall Each day I talk to my daddy But he never talks at all I tell him all of my secrets And all of my little plans And from the way he smiles at me I know he understands The angels took Daddy to heaven When I was just goin' on three But I'll bet they never told him How blue and lonesome we'd be I try to cheer up my mommie When the tears roll down her face My daddy is only a picture But I'm tryin' to take his place
