I Dream

I dream of you Daddy
And make secret wishes
That you’ll come see me
And have tea with my play dishes

I dream of you Daddy
And want to see you soon
I sometimes cry in my pillow
When I think I see your face in the moon

I dream of you Daddy
And wonder where you are
I wish for your love
Upon every shooting star

I dream of you Daddy
And still love you very much
Momma says I have your eyes
And other features and such

I dream of you Daddy
Every single night
I pray that you’ll return to me
And hold me tight
