As the shadows are slowly falling
Among the whispering pines
I see a light a-burning
In that dear old shack of mine
I hasten down the pathway
To see a face divine
And waiting there to greet me Is that dear old daddy of mine
Oh daddy,
dear old daddy You've been a real pal to me
Guiding my faltering footsteps Across
life's stormy sea
When our old is cold up yonder We may have parted for a time
But I know we'll meet up in heaven Oh dear old daddy of mine
By the
fire's side Let the hours swiftly fly
Watching the glowing embers As they slowly fade
and die
Oh daddy,
dear old daddy You've been a real pal to me
Guiding my faltering footsteps Across life's stormy sea
When our old is cold up yonder We may have parted for a time
But life,
it seems,
is like a vision It blooms then fades away
Like a rose bud in the morning
Fading at the close
of day
Oh daddy,
dear old
daddy
You've been a real pal to me
Guiding my faltering footsteps Across life's stormy sea
When our old is cold up yonder We may have parted for a time
But I know we'll meet up in heaven
Oh dear old daddy of mine
