I don't have much to say
Thought I'd call you up any-way
Just to try to show you the way
That I feel today
Oh, I miss you ba-by
I sure am on the road
I don't need to say much more
Just the same old well-known stranger
That I was before
It seems like yesterday now
Daddy's all gone
Only halfway home
He's holding on to the telephone
Saying, Please don't let the show go on.
There's a bus every other hour
There's even the midnight train
But that don't leave me the power
To see your face again
It's not that simple
You see, there's a room full of smiling faces
There's a man standin' by the door
Says it's time to change our places
And get down on the floor
Kill ', baby ]
Daddy's all gone ]
He's just halfway home
He's holding on to the microphone
Singing, Please don't make the show go on.
