[00:00.00]To Daddy (2008 Remaster) - Emmylou Harris
[00:07.22]Mama never seemed to miss the finer things of life
[00:12.59]If she did she never did say so to daddy
[00:18.60]She never wanted to be more than a mother and a wife
[00:24.46]If she did she never did say so to daddy
[00:30.71]The only thing that seemed to be important to her life
[00:36.38]Was to make our house a home and make us happy
[00:42.75]Mama never wanted any more than what she had
[00:48.36]If she did she never did say so to daddy
[00:54.73]He often left her all alone but she didn't mind the staying home
[01:00.91]If she did she never did say so to daddy
[01:06.58]And she never missed the flowers and the cards he never sent her
[01:12.33]If she did she never did say so to daddy
[01:18.52]Being took for granted was a thing that she accepted
[01:24.33]And she didn't need those things to make her happy
[01:30.24]And she didn't seem to notice that he didn't kiss and hold her
[01:36.36]If she did she never did say so to daddy
[01:42.59]One morning we awoke just to find a note
[01:48.15]That mama carefully wrote and left to daddy
[01:53.53]And as we began to read it
[01:57.08]Our ears could not believe it
[01:59.94]The words that she had written there to daddy
[02:06.49]She said the kids are older now they don't need me very much
[02:12.17]And I've gone in search of love I need so badly
[02:18.03]I have needed you so long but I just can't keep holding on
[02:24.53]She never meant to come back home
[02:27.20]If she did she never did say so to daddy
[02:34.01]Goodbye to daddy
