Daddy Can We Stay?

Lyrics

DADDY CAN WE STAY I guess we're leaving again for sure This old town don't look good to me anymore They say it's fine, A little farther on down the line So we're packing up the memories packing up the joys, My son is in his room packing up his toys chorus There's a tear in his eye, he says "Daddy can we stay this time?" I've got a girl at school, I like my teacher too She says I'm doing fine, and I'm not so far behind so sincere as he tries not to cry He says Daddy can we stay this time? 2nd verse Me and Mama we've got this dream, and as foolish as it may seem, we'll see it through, and I hope someday you'll see it too. But no matter where we live, we'll give you all we've got to give. Wherever we might roam, you'll always have a home. chorus There's a tear in his eye, he says "Daddy can we stay this time? I've got a friend JP, he's got a big old tree, we've been collecting boards, we're going to build a fort. So sincere as he tries not to cry ,He says Daddy can we stay this time? (tag) Now the years have slipped away, and he's leaving us today, off to greener fields. I think we know just how he feels. Packing up the memories we're packing up the joys love goes in life goes on, we have no choice Repeat and out
