Daddy's Song Lyrics - Head (1968 Film) - Monkees

Years ago I knew a man 

He was my mother's biggest fan 

We used to walk beside the sea 

And he'd tell me how my life would be 

When I grew up to be a man 

Years ago we used to play 

He used to laugh when I ran away 

But when I fell and hurt my knee 

He would run to comfort me 

And the pain would go away 

Years ago I knew a boy 

He was his daddy's pride and joy 

But when the daddy went away 

It was such a rainy day 

That he brought out all his toys

Now the momma did explain 

Tryin' to take away the pain 

But he just couldn't understand 

That his father was not a man 

And it all was just a game 

The years have passed and so have I 

Makin' it hard for me to cry 

And if and when, I have a son 

Let it all be said and done 

Let that sadness pass him by 

Years ago I knew a man 

He was my mother's biggest fan 

We used to walk beside the sea 

And he'd tell me how my life would be 

When I grew up to be a man
