Daddy he said
Did you ever notice
How the stars seem to have a song of their own
Daddy he said
Did you notice how the crickets seem to sing right along
Daddy he said
I love how the water skippers
Skate across the water
So free, and light, and easy
Me too, boy, me too
Come on son lets go
And pick those berries
Lets walk in the cool of the morning
Before the sun
While we still have the time
While we still
Have the time
That was a long time ago
Down on the banks of the Sweetwater
He’s an old man now, and gone
I’ve got a little one of my own
And two are grown
Daddy she says
Did you ever notice how the stars
Seem to twinkle and dance
Daddy she says
And the crickets seem to sing
Right along
Daddy she says
Lets go for a walk
Daddy she says
Let’s take the dogs down
To the woods
Run and play, lets have some fun
Daddy she says
Lets pick some berries, just you and me
Daddy she says
Where does the sun go, when the sun goes down
Daddy she says
Where do the stars go
when the nights fade away
Daddy she says
Why did Great grandma Lu
And grandpa Ernie have to go
Didn’t they know I’d miss them so
Daddy she says
I miss them so
I don’t know babe
I just don’t know
But I think maybe
They didn’t leave at all
They’re in the same place the sun and the stars go
They’re not gone
They just shine a light somewhere
We don’t see
Little Angel I say
Let’s take that walk
Take the dogs to the woods
Lets pick those berries
Run and laugh and play
Just you and me
It’ll be all too soon
This time will be gone,
And I’ll look back and ache
At the memory of this moment
Daddy she says…
