Dear daddy mommy now loves someone new

She says that you're not coming home

She can't go on living alone

Please daddy don't be mad at mommy

She needs someone for all she's been through

Cause he will never take your place

He'll be just filling in for you

I hope that you can forgive her

To your new home somewhere up above
