It was a cold night in december The snow lay on the ground She was coming home from school one night From the other side of town It was getting late, there was something wrong Then I heard the news A tv flash and by 9 o'clock They'd found her socks and shoes Daddy come and bring me home I didn't know which way to turn I was shaking like a leaf I got into my car and drove Searching every street Has anybody seen her Have you found my little girl She's all I have, all I possess And to me, she means the world I can hear her calling Daddy come and bring me home Daddy, daddy come and bring me home Daddy, when are you gonna bring me home As time went by each silent night
We knew all hope was gone We knew the light had flickered From the eyes that once had shone They caught a man in a bar one night He confessed to what he'd done He'd laid her body out in some dark wood Just didn't know which one, Daddy, daddy come and bring me home Daddy, daddy come and bring me home I just couldn't leave her out there Lying on her own 'cause she belongs to me And I belong to her I know she rests in heaven With the angels on a throne But now I hear her calling Daddy, daddy come and bring me home Daddy come and bring me home Daddy, daddy come and bring me home Daddy, daddy come and bring me home
