DADDY DON'T GO

DADDY DON'T GO

See the little girl
holding up the hem
of her new dress
so it won't get dirty
during her dad's second
deployment overseas

Clutching his hand as
he stands at attention
in his soldier uniform
no one has the heart
to separate them yet

Blinded by her tears
she cries out
won't let him go why
does he have to leave
his famly once again

Daddy don't go
daddy don't
dad eee
