Bonnie Owens - Why Don't Daddy Live Here Anymore lyrics

My little boy looks up at me with big tears in his eyes

And asks me what did daddy leave us for

I feel a pain run through my heart when he cries these helpless words

Mommy why don't daddy live here anymore

I try to tell my little boy why his daddy moved away

But somehow I just can't seem to find the right words to say

His daddy he loves another woman now and he left us to be with her

That's why he only comes to visit now don't come home to stay

I feel a pain run through my heart when he cries these helpless words

Mommy why don't daddy live here anymore

I tell him his daddy loves him and he'll come to see him when he can

And that he should try his best to be a little man

But in his eyes I see a child who's heart has lost all hope

And it hurts to know that he's still too young to understand

My little boy looks up at me...
