Daddy’s Home Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're my love, you're my angel
You're the girl of my dreams
I'd like to thank you
For waiting patiently, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Daddy's home
Your daddy's home to stay, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
How I've waited for this moment
To be by your side (To be by your side)
Your best friend wrote and told me
You had teardrops in your eyes, yeah

[Chorus]
Daddy's home
Your daddy's home to stay

[Bridge]
It wasn't on a Sunday
Monday and Tuesday went by
It wasn't on a Tuesday afternoon
All I could do was cry
But I made a promise that you treasured
I made it back home to you
[Verse 2]
How I've waited for this moment
To be by your side
Your best friend wrote and told me
You had teardrops in your eyes, yeah

[Chorus]
Daddy's home
Your daddy's home to stay, hey, yeah

[Outro]
Daddy's home to stay
I'm not a thousand miles away, yeah, yeah
(Daddy's home to stay)
And I'm gonna be here, come what may, come what may
(Daddy's home to stay)
I'm not a thousand miles away, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Daddy's home to stay)
And I'm gonna be here, come what may, come what may, yeah, yeah
(Daddy's home to stay)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
