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

’cos you’re makin’ me run

Daddy, don’t you walk

so fast

Now it broke my heart

to tell my little daughter

That her daddy had to

run to catch a train

She had no way of knowin’

I was leavin’ home

for good

I turned around and

there she was again

She cried and said

Daddy, don’t you walk

so fast

My daughter cried

Daddy, don’t you walk

so fast

Daddy, slow down some

’cos you’re makin’ me run

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

She cried and said

Daddy, don’t you walk

so fast

My daughter cried

Daddy, don’t you walk

so fast

Daddy, slow down some

’cos you’re makin’ me run

Daddy, don’t you walk

so fast

Daddy, don’t you walk

so fast

My daughter cried

Daddy, don’t you walk

so fast

Daddy, slow down some

’cos you’re makin’ me run

Daddy, don’t you walk

so fast
