G             D
Daddy’s been gone
            Em
Gone for so long
           C
For him I pray

G              D
He joined the corps
           Em
Fighting a war
                C   G
Somewhere far away

    G                  D
He promised me he’d return
                           Em
When the Chanukah candles burn
           C     G
So here I wait

      G            D
The blessings I recite
              Em
By the candlelight
                  D
But it’s getting late


Chorus:
Em          C
Daddy come home
          G
Stay with me
                  D
Let me hold your hand
                       Em
Let me sit upon your knee
       C
I see fear
           G
In Mommy’s eyes
                 D
Every time she cries
                     Em
And tries to comfort me

       G            D
It’s scary here at home
                   Em
My mind begins to roam
             C
Have I lost you
G            D
I hear the phone
                  Em
Mommy’s mournful moan
              D
It can’t be true


Chorus


C             D
Where has he gone?
         G        D
How will I carry on?
         Am         Em
Tell me what can I say?
           D
I need to pray…

Available by order
Please hear my plea
Available by order
Send my Daddy home to…

Em             C
…Who’s that I hear
            G
Calling my name
               D
I run into his arms
               Em
Yes, my Daddy came
        C
Home to me
              G
He’s on his knees
                 D
Now he’s holding me
              Em
For all eternity.

Em             C
Now, as night falls
          G
We stand tall
                        D
Eight candles burning bright
                              Em
And they’re lighting up the night
         C
Home at last
        G
Eyes aglow
                D
I hug my Daddy tight
                    G
And I’m not letting go
