Daddy come home
Stay with me
Let me hold your hand
Let me sit upon your knee
I see fear
In mommy's eyes
Every time she cries
And tries to comfort me

Daddy's been gone
Gone for so long
For him, I pray
He joined the corps
Fighting a war
Somewhere far away

He promised me he'd return
When the Chanukah candles burn
So here I wait
The blessings I recite
By the candle-light
But it's getting late

Daddy come home
Stay with me
Let me hold your hand
Let me sit upon your knee
I see fear
In mommy's eyes
Every time she cries
And tries to comfort me
