Lyrics
Tell Daddy I Love Him
By J. D. Simmons Copyright 2006
I was working in Daddy?s place,
When he passed away last June,
Didn?t get to say goodbye,
Like I wanted to
It?s been nearly a year ago,
Since Daddy passed away,
Then Mama lost her will to live, I
By the end of May.
Chorus
Mama can you hear me,
I know your passin? soon,
Please tell Daddy that I love him,
When you see him this afternoon
Mama can you hear me,
I know your passing soon,
Please tell Daddy that I love him,
When you see him this afternoon.
I stood over both their graves,
Later on that week,
My tears rolled like a waterfall,
As I got down on my knees.
I visit with both of them,
Almost each and every day,
But my tears roll like a waterfall,
As I stand there and pray.
Chorus
Mama can you hear me,
I know your passing soon,
Please tell Daddy I love him,
When you see him this afternoon.
I love them both so dearly,
It hurts in everyway,
Now the only thing that I can do,
Is bring flowers to their graves.
Daddy you know i love you
Mama's coming soon
She will say goodbye for me
Like i wanted too
Repeat Chorus End Song.
