Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- When evening shadows start in a falling
Over the Radio I hear you calling
Thousands of miles apart
Still you are near in my heart
Morning, night and noon
You can hear me croon
Chorus
Dream daddy, dream daddy
Wonderful daddy of mine
Ev’ry night after I’ve said my pray’rs
Your tender voice drives away all my cares
Dream daddy, dream daddy
When the stars begin to shine
That’s when I lay away my books and my toys
And listen in with all the girlies and boys
Dream daddy, dream daddy
Wonderful daddy of mine
- All thru’ the day pining to hear you
You’re far away I just wish I were near you
All of your stories sweet
Make my whole life so complete
Even in my dreams
You’re with me it seems
