Daddy was always out on the farm,
starting his day with the morning alarm.
Has to work hard, has to work true.
Has the bring sweet mommy home food.

Mommy's plagued by a strong urge to fly away,
but daddy wants a family, he wants her to stay.
She can't make a choice, she'll wait one more day.

Daddy can you tell me why you left her alone?
Daddy can you tell me why the love hasn't grown?

The family then happens. One big surprise.
What joy there was left soon burns to demise.

She feels tied to him now, fate pulls the trap,
she'll stay with him 'til the love finally snaps.
And she breaks down in tears,
validating her fears,
realizing this family must crumble.

Though the child is young, he already sees
over what things we all must stumble

Daddy can you tell me why you let her grow cold?
Daddy can you tell me why love must grow old?
