Mama never seemed to miss the finer things of lifeIf she did, she never did say so to DaddyShe never wanted to be more than a mother and a wifeIf she did, she never did say so to DaddyThe only thing that seemed to be important in her lifeWas to make our house a homeAnd make our home a homeAnd make us happyMama never wanted any more than what she hadIf she did, she never did say so to DaddyHe often left her all aloneBut she didn't mind staying homeIf she did, she never did say so to DaddyAnd she never missed the flowersAnd the cards he never sent herIf she did, she never did say so to DaddyBeing took for grantedWas a thing that she acceptedAnd she didn't need those thingsTo make her happyAnd she didn't seem to noticeThat he didn't kiss and hold herIf she did, she never did say so to DaddyOne morning we awokeJust to find a noteThat Mama carefully wroteAnd left to DaddyAnd as he began to read itOur ears could not believe itThe words she had written there to DaddyShe said the kids are old enoughAnd they don't need me very muchAnd I've gone and seen them allI'm in search of loveI need so badlyI have needed you so longBut I just can't keep holding onShe never meant to come back homeIf she did, she never did say so to DaddyGoodbye to DaddyGoodbye to Daddy
