Daddy's All Gone

I don't have much to say

Thought I'd call you up anyway

Just to try to show you the way

That I feel today

I miss you, baby

I sure am on the road

I don't need to say much more

Just the same old well - known stranger

That I was before

It seems like yesterday now

Daddy's all gone

Only half way home

He's holding on to the telephone

Saying please don't let the show go on

There's a bus every other hour

There's even the midnight train

But that don't leave me the power

To see your face again

It's not that simple

You see there's a room full

of smiling faces

There's a man standing by the door

Say it's time to change our places

And get down on the floor

Kill 'em, baby

Daddy's all gone

He's just half way home

He's holding on to the microphone

Singing please don't make the show go on
