Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

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 

Crying, 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 

Crying, 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, slow down some 

'Cause you're making me run 

Daddy, don't you walk so fast
