Daddy my daddy teach me how to pray
One night a sleepy little boy knelt beside my bed
He smiled and looked into my eyes
And this is what he said
"Daddy my daddy you've taught me lots today
So daddy my daddy teach me how to pray"
You brought me home a brand new kite
Showed me how to fly
And there ain't no wonder kid
Dad can who's knock a ball so high
I'd like to thank God for you
But I don't know what to say
So daddy my daddy teach me how to pray
I'd had to turn and leave his room
He began to cry
I didn't want my boy to know but so did I
His best pal forsaken him
But what was there to say
For daddy
Yes daddy had forgotten how to pray
Daddy my daddy teach me how to pray
