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
CHORUS:
´Daddy, don´t you walk so fast
Daddy, don´t you walk so fast
Daddy, slow down some ´cause 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
As she said to me
´Daddy, don´t you walk so fast´, my darlin´ cried
´Daddy, don´t you walk so fast
Daddy, slow down some ´cause 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 darlin´ cried
´Daddy, don´t you walk so fast
Daddy, slow down some ´cause you´re makin´ me run
Oh, daddy, don´t you walk so fast´
(Daddy, don´t you walk so fast) my darlin´ cried
(Daddy, don´t you walk so fast)
Ah, daddy, slow down some ´cause you´re making me run
Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast
