As I look around the little house we were so happy in I think of all the happy times we'll never see again Then I break down and start to cry, the children ask what for I can't find a way to tell them that Daddy won't be home anymore Each night before they go to sleep they fold their little hands And say a prayer for Daddy fighting in their far-off land So tonight I'll help them say their prayers like I've always done before God give me courage to tell them that Daddy won't be home anymore But honey as for me there'll never be another man And I'll bring our children up the best way that I can You died for what you thought was right that much I know for sure But the children just can't understand why Daddy won't be home anymore No the children just don't understand why Daddy won't be home anymore
