Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast - Tony Christie

作词：Peter Callander/Geoff Stephens

作曲：Peter Callander/Geoff Stephens

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

Yes 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 makin' me run

Daddy don't you walk so fast

It broke my heart

To tell my little daughter

That her daddy had to run to and catch a train

She had no way of knowin'

I was leavin' home for good

I turned around and there

She was again crying

Daddy don't you walk so fast

My darling crying

Daddy don't you walk so fast

Daddy slow down some

'Cause you're makin' 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 there and then

And try to start a new life

With the mother of my child

I couldn't bear to hear those words again

When she said

Daddy don't you walk so fast

My darling crying

Oh Daddy don't you walk so fast

Daddy slow down some

'Cause you're makin' me run

Daddy don't you walk so fast

Won't you slow down some

'Cause you're makin' me run

Daddy don't you walk so fast
