Daddy Come Home

Daddy's been gone

Gone for so long

For him I pray

He joined the Corps

Fighting a war

Somewhere far away

He promised me he'd return

When the Chanukah candles burn

So here I wait

The blessings I recite

By the candle-light

But it's getting late

Daddy come home

Stay with me

Let me hold your hand

Let me sit upon your knee

I see fear

In Mommy's eyes

Every time she cries

And tries to comfort me

It's scary here at home

My mind begins to roam

Have I lost you?

I hear the phone

Mommy's mournful moan

It can't be true!

Daddy come home

Stay with me

Let me hold your hand

Let me sit upon your knee

I see fear

In Mommy's eyes

Every time she cries

And tries to comfort me

Where has he gone?

How will I carry on?

Tell me what can I say?

I need to pray...

...Please hear my plea

Send my Daddy home to...

...Who's that I hear

Calling my name

I run into his arms

Yes, my Daddy came

Home to me

He's on his knees

Now he's holding me

For all eternity

Now, as night falls

We stand tall

Eight candles burning bright

And they're lighting up the night

Home at last

Eyes aglow

I hug my Daddy tight

And I'm not letting go!
