Country song

Daddy why'd you go, Daddy can't you stay

Momma she won't tell me why you went away

She says that I'm so young, I would not understand

But Daddy, you're my daddy, am I still your little man?


                                  Chorus

Daddy I'm savin' a little love for you

I don't know where and I don't know how

But I hope to spend it soon.



Daddy you shoulda seen it, when I had my eighth birthday

I blew out the candles Momma lit up on the cake

I got cards and presents, from GrandMa and GrandPa too

But the one I wanted most of all, Dad I never got from you

                                  Chorus

Daddy I'm savin' a little love for you

I don't know where and I don't know how

But I hope to spend it soon.


Dad you should have seen me at that high school football game

The last one of the season when all the families came

My girlfriend she led the cheers and we bowled their defense down

And when I scored the winnin' goal, Dad, it would've made you proud


                                    Chorus


Daddy I'm savin' a little love for you

I don't know where and I don't know how

But I hope to spend it soon.


Well, little Jack is two, and Melissa's well past three

And everybody tells me that my boy looks like me

You know I wish that you could see 'em, that they could know you too

'cause that is where I've spent the love I was saving up for you.
