Daddy, Don't You Walk So Fast

The love between the two of us was dying

And it got so bad I knew I had to leave,

But halfway down that highway, when I turned around, I saw

My little daughter running after me,

Crying,



"Daddy, don't you walk so fast.

Daddy, don't you walk so fast.

Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're making me run.

Daddy, don't you walk so fast."



Now it broke my heart to tell my little daughter

That her daddy had to run to catch a train.

She had no way of knowing I was leaving home for good.

I turned around and there she was again

And she said to me,



"Daddy, don't you walk so fast."

My darling cried,

"Daddy, don't you walk so fast.

Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're making me run.

Daddy, don't you walk so fast."



If only for the sake of my sweet daughter,

I just had to turn back home right then and there

And try to start a new life with the mother of my child.

I couldn't bear to hear those words again.

She cried and said,



"Daddy, don't you walk so fast."

My darling cried,

"Daddy, don't you walk so fast.

Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're making me run.

Daddy, don't you walk so fast."



"Daddy, don't you walk so fast."

My darling cried,

"Daddy, don't you walk so fast.

Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're making me run.

Daddy, don't you walk so fast."
