Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast Lyrics - Charlie Rich

The love between the two of us was dying 

And it got so bad, I knew I had to leave 

But halfway down the highway when I turned around and saw 

My little girl a running after me 

[Chorus] 

Crying, daddy, don't you walk so fast 

Daddy, don't you walk so fast 

Daddy, slow me down, some 'cause you're making me run 

Daddy, don't you walk so fast 

It broke my heart to tell my little baby 

That her daddy had to run and catch a train 

She had no way of knowing I was leaving home for good 

I turned around and there she was again 

[Chorus] 

Only for the sake of my sweet daughter 

I just had to turn back home, right there and then 

I try to start a new life with the mother of my child 

I couldn't bear to hear those words again 

She said, daddy, don't you walk so fast 

Daddy, don't you walk so fast 

Daddy, slow me down, some 'cause you're making me run 

Daddy, don't you walk so fast
