Early one morning I heard through the wall The voice of my daughter, Daddy she called Put on my slippers, rushed through her door Picked up her dolly that fell on the floor Covered her warmly, tucked her in tight Told her I loved her and kissed her goodnight She asked me some questions I'll never forget Questions that no one has answers for yet Daddy, what is a bomb? Daddy, where is Vietnam? Daddy, who's Uncle Tom? I wanna know, is it true? What Jamie said, we'd all be dead Me and you and Mommy too I wanna know I wanna know Walked to my bedroom with tears in my eyes Hearing the questions that have no replies Tossing and turning till night turned to day Over and over kept hearing her say Daddy, what is a bomb? Daddy, where is Vietnam? Daddy, who's Uncle Tom? I wanna know, is it true? What Jamie said, we'd all be dead Me and you and Mommy too I wanna know I wanna know You go to sleep, darling Say goodnight to Daddy And don't you worry about that, we'll talk about it tomorrow morning Come on now, say goodnight to Daddy Goodnight, baby Goodnight, Daddy
