To Daddy Lyrics - Dolly Parton

"To Daddy" 

Momma never seemed to miss the 

finer things in life 

If she did, she never did say so to 

daddy 

She never wanted to be more than 

mother and a wife 

If she did, she never did say so to 

daddy 

The only things that seemed to be 

important in her life 

Was to make our house a home 

and make us happy 

Momma never wanted anymore 

than what she had 

If she did, she never did say so to 

daddy 

He often left her all alone 

She didn't mind the stayin' home 

If she did, she never did say so to 

daddy 

And she never missed the flowers 

And the gifts he never gave her 

If she did, she never did say so to 

daddy 

Being took for granted was a thing 

that she accepted 

And she didn't need those things to 

make her happy 

She didn't even seem to notice 

That he didn't kiss and hold her 

If she did, she never did say so to 

daddy 

One morning we awoke 

Just to find the note 

That momma carefully wrote 

And left to daddy 

And as he began to read it 

Our ears could not believe it 

The words that she had written 

there to daddy 

She said our kids are old enough 

And they don't need me very much 

So I've gone in search for love I 

need so badly 

I have needed you so long 

But I just can't keep holdin' on 

She never meant to come back 

home 

If she did, she never did say so to 

daddy 

Momma's gone 

Good-bye to daddy
