C F C
They were separated one year ago that day
G7
The court had given him their only child
C F C
When play time was all finished he climbed on daddy's knee
G7 C
And said with teardrops showing through a smile
F C
Daddy when is mommy coming home
G7
Each day you say it won't be very long
C
I always see you cry since mommy said goodbye
D7 G7
And went away and left us all alone
C F C
Each night I kneel beside my bed and then
D7 F
I always pray that she'll come back again
C D7
I wonder if she knows that we're so all alone
G7 C
Daddy when is mommy coming home
