Wayne Newton - Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast

The love between the two of us was dying

and it got so bad I knew I had to leave

but halfway down that highway when I turned around I saw

my little daughter running after me

crying

Daddy, don't you walk so fast.

Daddy, don't you walk so fast.

Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run.

Daddy, don't you walk so fast.

Now, it broke my heart to tell my little daughter

that her daddy had to run to catch a train.

She had no way of knowin' I was leavin' home for good,

I turned around and there she was again

as she said to me

Daddy, don't you walk so fast.

My daughter cried daddy, don't you walk so fast.

Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run.

Daddy, don't you walk so fast.

If only for the sake of my sweet daughter

I just had to turn back home right there and then

and try to start a new life with the mother of my child.

I couldn't bear to hear those words again.

She cried and said

Daddy, don't you walk so fast

(My daughter cried)

Daddy, don't you walk so fast

Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run

Daddy, don't you walk so fast

(Daddy, don't you walk so fast).

My daughter cried

(Daddy, don't you walk so fast).

Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run.

Oh, daddy, don't you walk so fast.
