Dolly Parton - To Daddy Lyrics
Momma never seemed to miss the finer things in lifeIf she did, she never did say so to daddyShe never wanted to be more than mother and a wifeIf she did, she never did say so to daddyThe only things that seemed to be important in her lifeWas to make our house a home and make us happyMomma never wanted anymore than what she hadIf she did, she never did say so to daddyHe often left her all aloneShe didnt mind the stayin homeIf she did, she never did say so to daddyAnd she never missed the flowersAnd the gifts he never gave herIf she did, she never did say so to daddyBeing took for granted was a thing that she acceptedAnd she didnt need those things to make her happyShe didnt even seem to noticeThat he didnt kiss and hold herIf she did, she never did say so to daddyChorus:One morning we awokeJust to find the noteThat momma carefully wroteAnd left to daddyAnd as he began to read itOur ears could not believe itThe words that she had written there to daddyShe said our kids are old enoughAnd they dont need me very muchSo Ive gone in search for love I need so badlyI have needed you so longBut I just cant keep holdin onShe never meant to come back homeIf she did, she never did say so to daddyTag:Mommas goneGood-bye to daddy
