Daddy Come Home

Daddy's been gone. Gone for so long. For him I pray. He joined the core, Fighting a war, Somewhere far away. He promised me he's return. When the Hanukkah candles burn. So, here i wait. The blessings I recite. By the candle light. But its getting late. Daddy come home, stay with me! Let me hold your hand, let me sit upon your knee! I see fear, in mommy's eyes. Every time she cries, she tries to comfort me. Its scary here at home. My mind begins to roam. "Have i lost you?" I hear the phone, And mommy's mournful moan. "It cant be true" Daddy come home, stay with me! Let me hold your hand, Let me sit upon your knee! I see fear in mommy's eyes. Everytime she cries, she tries to comfort. "Where has he gone? How will i carry on? Tell me what can i say? I need to pray..." "Lord, please hear my plead, send my daddy home to...--" Whose that i hear? Call my name! I run into his arms! YES, MY DADDY CAME! Home to me! HE'S ON HIS KNEES! NOW HE"S HOLDING ME! FOR ALL ETERNITY! Home at last! Eyes a glow! I thought my daddy died. But now i'm not letting go!
