Monkees - Daddy’s Song lyrics

Years ago I knew a man<br>He was my mother's biggest fan<br>We used to walk beside the sea<br>And he'd tell how my life would be<br>When I grew up to be a man<br>Years ago we used to play<br>He used to laugh when I ran away<br>But when I fell and hurt my knee<br>He used to come and comfort me<br>And the pain would go away<br><br>Years ago I knew a boy<br>He was his daddy's pride and joy<br>But when the daddy went away<br>It was such a rainy day<br>That he brought out all his toys<br>Now the momma did explain<br>Trying to take away the pain<br>He just couldn't understand<br>That his father was not a man<br>And it all was just a game<br><br>Years have passed and so have i<br>Making it hard to cry<br>And if and when I have a son<br>Let it all be said and done<br>Let all that sadness pass him by
