Lyrics:
First verse
When evening shadows start in a falling, Over the Radioo I hear you calling, Thousands of miles apart, Still you are near in my heart, Morning, night and noon You can hear me croon.
Chorus
Dream Daddy, Dream Daddy, Wonderful Daddy of mine, Ev'ry night after I've said my pray'rs, Your tender voice drives away all my cares, Dream Daddy, Dream Daddy, When the stars begin to shine. That's when I lay away my books and my toys, And listen in with all the girlies and boys, Dream Daddy, Dream Daddy, Wonderful Daddy of mine. Dream Daddy, Dream Daddy, Wonderful Daddy of mine, Ev'ry night after I've said my pray'rs, Your tender voice drives away all my cares, Dream Daddy, Dream Daddy, When the stars begin to shine. That's when I lay away my books and my toys, And listen in with all the girlies and boys, Dream Daddy, Dream Daddy, Wonderful Daddy of mine.
Second verse
All thru' the day I'm pining to hear you, You're far away I just wish I were near you, All of your stories sweet, Make my whole life so complete, Even in my dreams, You're with me it seems. (Chorus)
