Why Don't Daddy Live Here Anymore Lyrics - Bonnie Owens

My little boy looks up at me with big tears in his eyes 

And asks me what did daddy leave us for 

I feel a pain run through my heart when he cries these helpless words 

Mommy why don't daddy live here anymore 

I try to tell my little boy why his daddy moved away 

But somehow I just can't seem to find the right words to say 

His daddy he loves another woman now and he left us to be with her 

That's why he only comes to visit now don't come home to stay 

I feel a pain run through my heart when he cries these helpless words 

Mommy why don't daddy live here anymore 

I tell him his daddy loves him and he'll come to see him when he can 

And that he should try his best to be a little man 

But in his eyes I see a child who's heart has lost all hope 

And it hurts to know that he's still too young to understand 

My little boy looks up at me...
