take the ribbon from your hair
shake it loose and let it fall
playin soft upon my skin
help me make it through the night
i don't care who's right or wrong
i don't try to understand
let the devil take tomorrow
lord tonight i need a friend
you're my love you're my angel
you're the girl of my dreams
and i'd like to thank you
for waiting patiently
daddy's home
you're daddy's home to stay
it wasn't on a sunday
bracketed
it wasn't on a tuesday afternoon
but i made a promise
that you'd treasured
i'd made it back home to you
i can't stop loving you
it's useless to say
so i'll just live my life
in dreams of yesterday
those happy hours that we once knew
so long ago they still make me blue
they say that time heals a broken heart
but time has stood still
since we've been apart
though we gotta say goodbye
for the summer
but darling i promise you this
i'll send you all my love
everyday in a letter
sealed with a kiss
i'll see you in the sunlight
i'll hear your voice everywhere
i'll run to tenderly hold you
but darling you won't be there
i don't wanna say goodbye for the summer
knowing the love we've meet
so let us make a pledge
to meet in september
sealed with a kiss sealed with a kiss
