Lyrics | Let Us Say a Prayer for Daddy Verse: In a humble home two sad hearts alone mother holding babe tenderly Tears in mother’s eyes babe don’t realize daddy’s far across the sea Then with a goodnight kiss to baby she’ll say this. Refrain: Let us say a prayer for daddy he is far across the sea You have never seen him little baby of us he is thinking constantly Pray that soon he will be with us pray protection for him dear Tho’ you have your mother with you baby pray that dad will soon be here. Verse: Slowly went the years baby said with tears mother where is my daddy dear If these poor hearts knew daddy’s life was through and the angels he is near Said mother baby dear our dad will soon be here.
