(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 when I turned around I saw
My little daughter running after me.
Cryin` daddy, don`t you walk so fast
Daddy, don`t you walk so fast
Daddy, slow down some `cause you`re making 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 catch a train
She had no way of knowing I was leaving home for good
I turned around and there was again.
Cryin` daddy, don`t you walk so fast
Daddy, don`t you walk so fast
Daddy, slow down some `cause you`re making 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.
Daddy, don`t you walk so fast
Daddy, don`t you walk so fast
Daddy, slow down some `cause you`re making me run
Daddy, don`t you walk so fast.
Daddy slow down some cause you`re making me run
Daddy don`t you walk so fast...
