Lyrics:

You're a thousand miles away-ay

Bu-u-t I still have your love to remember you by

Oh, my dar-ar-ar-arling, dry your eyes

Daddy's coming home soon


On my knees every day-ay

All I do is pray, baby, just for you

Hope you a-a-a-always want me too

Daddy's coming home soon


It may be on a Sunday morning

It may be on a Tuesday afternoon

But no matter what the day is

I'm going to make it my business to get home soon


You're (a thousand miles away)

Bu-u-ut I still have your love to remember you by

Oh, my dar-ar-ar-arling, dry your eyes

Daddy's coming ho-ome so-oo-oo-oo-oon
