He drops his suitcase by the door
She knows her daddy won't be back anymore
She drags her feet across the floor
Trying to hold back time, to keep him holding on
And she says...
Daddy, daddy, don't leave
I'll do anything to keep you right here with me
Can't you see how much I need you?
Daddy, daddy, don't leave
Mommy is saying things she don't mean
She don't know what she's talking about, somebody hear me out
[Chorus]
Father, listen, tell him that he's got a home and he don't have to go
Father, save him, I would do anything in return
I'll clean my room, try hard in school
I'll be good, I promise you
Father, Father, I pray to you
Now she hasn't slept in weeks
She don't want to close her eyes 'cause she's scared that he'll leave
They've tried just about everything
But it's getting harder now for him to breathe
And she says
Daddy, daddy, don't leave
I'll do anything to keep you right here with me
Can't you see how much I need you?
Daddy, daddy, don't leave
The doctors are saying things they don't mean
They don't know what they're talking about, somebody hear me out
[Chorus]
Please don't let him go
I'm begging you so
Let him open his eyes, need a lil' more time
To tell him that I love him more than anything in the world
It's daddy's lil' girl
[Chorus]
She was daddy's lil' girl
