Daddy

Lyrics

I can remember early in summer Playing catch with my dad And I can still hear the sound Of the ice cream wagon way up ahead "Do you have a nickel? Or maybe a dime? Daddy, would you buy me an ice cream cone? I love you" And I can remember early September Starting school once again Daddy would always say this would be A great year for making friends He'd hold me up high, give a great big smile Squeeze me so hard I couldn't breathe for awhile Hе loved me Me and Daddy, wе made a great team He was the servant, and I was the king Daddy was always everything I needed I still can remember that very first summer When Daddy and I didn't play He said he still loved me, but baseball and candy Would somehow just have to wait "Daddy, I'll pitch, it's your turn to swing I'll be the servant and you can be king" But deep in his eyes I saw a change I'd seen it before When I lost my best friend Eddie Moore Time has gone by, now I'm a dad And I have some kids of my own And every time I hear the sound Of the ice cream wagon down the road "Do you have a nickel? Or maybe a dime? Daddy, would you buy me an ice cream cone? I love you" Me and Daddy, we made a great team He was the servant, and I was the king From early September, 'til the ice cream came Daddy was always everything I needed
