DID YOU SEE MY DADDY OVER THERE
WRITER BILL SHOWMEt
A little boy tugged gently at a soldier's khaki sleeve He said forgive me mister but you've been across the I believe,
I see the purple heart you wear
it tells what you've been through
Perhaps you knew my daddy sir, 'cause he's a soldier too.
Did you see my daddy mister soldier,
When you fighting over there?
I thought perhaps by chance
You met him there in France
Or somewhere over there across the sea.
It's been so long since daddy went away
My mommy longs for him both night and day
I know 'twould make her glad, if you had seen my dad,
Did you see my daddy over there?
The soldier's eyes grew misty as he watched the boyish face,
For it recalled a memory that time can not erase,
A buddy lost in action, the best pal he ever had Till death he carried o'r his heart a picture
of this lad.
Did you see my daddy mister soldier? When you were fighting over there?
I thought perhaps by chance,
You met him there in France,
Or somewhere over there across the sea.
It's been so long since daddy went away
My mommy longs for him both night and day,
I know 'twould make her glad, If you had seen my dad,
Did you see my daddy over there?
