Daddy Lyrics - In The Hot Seat - Emerson, Lake & Palmer

It was a cold night in december 

The snow lay on the ground 

She was coming home from school one night 

From the other side of town 

It was getting late, there was something wrong 

Then I heard the news 

A tv flash and by 9 o'clock 

They'd found her socks and shoes 

Daddy come and bring me home 

I didn't know which way to turn 

I was shaking like a leaf 

I got into my car and drove 

Searching every street 

Has anybody seen her 

Have you found my little girl 

She's all I have, all I possess 

And to me, she means the world 

I can hear her calling 

Daddy come and bring me home 

Daddy, daddy come and bring me home 

Daddy, when are you gonna bring me home 

As time went by each silent night 

We knew all hope was gone 

We knew the light had flickered 

From the eyes that once had shone 

They caught a man in a bar one night 

He confessed to what he'd done 

He'd laid her body out in some dark wood 

Just didn't know which one, 

Daddy, daddy come and bring me home 

Daddy, daddy come and bring me home 

I just couldn't leave her out there 

Lying on her own 

'cause she belongs to me 

And I belong to her 

I know she rests in heaven 

With the angels on a throne 

But now I hear her calling 

Daddy, daddy come and bring me home 

Daddy come and bring me home 

Daddy, daddy come and bring me home 

Daddy, daddy come and bring me home
