From the recording The Big Sky
Lyrics
A little girl watching TV hears the ringing of the phone
She hears her Momma talking, and she hopes it won't be long
When it's her turn to talk, the first thing she want to know
"Daddy, when are you coming home?"
The first thing that she'll say, when he comes home to the door
"How long are you staying? You're not leaving anymore?"
Until that day comes, the thing she wants to know
"Daddy, when are you coming home?"
Gotta hide those feelings, just trying to get along
A soldier so far from home he's trying to do his part
She's not really but she's been waiting for so long
She can't wait for him to get back home!
Gotta hide those feelings, just trying to get along
A soldier so far from home he's trying to do his part
She's not really but she's been waiting for so long
She can't wait for him to get back home!
A little girl watching TV hears the ringing of the phone
She hears her Momma talking, and she hopes it won't be long
When it's her turn to talk, the first thing she want to know
"Daddy, when are you coming home?"
