lyrics

Daddy's Arms
Coco O’Connor / Mark Narmore

Daddy joined the navy back in the summer of ‘63
Decades before I was born he found glory out at sea
He had raven hair , eyes of coal
And his smile was full of charm

How I long to be held
In my Daddy's Arms


Mama used to tell me stories to get me through the days
She assured me in a little while he'd be coming home to stay
He would wipe my tears, calm my fears
And keep me safe from harm

How I long to be held
In my Daddy's Arms

Daddy's Arms
Shot big ‘ol cannons
Daddy's Arms
Steered mighty ships
Had a fire breathin’ dragon
Tattooed above his wrist
Daddy’s Arms
Lean and mean
Daddy’s Arms
In my dreams
When the world feels cold and dark
There’s comfort
In My Daddy’s Arms

Few and far between were the times he’d come around
I got one fond memory of him left and a night in Birmingham

At a little club with a sweet jazz band
Looking back we laughed so hard
He had two left feet but I danced so sweet
In my Daddy’s Arms

Daddy's Arms
Shot big ‘ol cannons
Daddy's Arms
Steered mighty ships
Had a fire breathin’ dragon
Tattooed above his wrist
Daddy’s Arms
lean and mean
Daddy’s Arms
In my dreams
When the world feels cold and dark
There’s comfort
In My Daddy’s Arms

Funny how the time goes by , funny how it slips away
Last time that I saw my dad he asked if we could pray

He said I'm sorry for the pain I caused
I never meant you harm

Now the time has come
To be held
In his Daddy's Arms
