Talkin' to Daddy

Verse 1
Can you remember when Dad, when you fought in that war?
Bravely served your country, who could ask for more?
Dad, I love you, you’re my shining star.
But I’m sad, you don’t recall who you are.

Chorus
Talking to Daddy hurts these days
he’s Seldom awake and seems far away
I never thought I’d ever feel this way
Talking to Daddy really hurts these days.

Verse 2
You reached out so tenderly and touched mama’s hands
Thought to myself, this couldn’t be in God’s plans
Why take those memories from such a strong man,​​​​​
The Love they shared those years through those wedding bands,

Chorus
Talking to Daddy hurts these days
Seldom is he awake and seems far away
Who would have thought I’d ever feel this way
Talking to Daddy really hurts these days.

Verse 3
Told me of your childhood and where you used to roam
How do I say? it’s no longer home
The old dirt roads are paved, and all your friends are gone
It’s so hard when you loose all the things you’ve known

Instrumental Break over a Chorus going into a break


Bridge​​​​
This morning God took you away
You’ll longer have to live this way

Chorus
Talking to Daddy Doesn’t hurt these days
I look to heaven and pray
that he’s laughing and singing with his dear sweet friends
No, talking to daddy doesn’t hurt these days.
Talking to daddy doesn’t hurt these days.
