Daddy Come Home- Yeshiva Boys

Daddy's been gone, gone for so long.

For him I pray.

He joined the Corps, fighting a war.

Somewhere far away.

He promised me he'd return, when the Hanukkah candles burn.

So here I wait.

The blessings I recite, by the candle-light.

But it's getting late.

Daddy come home.

Stay with me.

Let me hold your hand, let me sit upon your knee.

I see fear in Mommy's eyes.

Every time she cries, and tries to comfort me.

It's scary here at home, my mind begins to roam.

Have I lost you?

I hear the phone, mommy's mournful moan.

It can't be true!

Daddy come home.

Stay with me.

Let me hold your hand, let me sit upon your knee.

I see fear in Mommy's eyes.

Every time she cries, and tries to comfort me.

Where has he gone?

How will I carry on?

Tell me what can I say?

I need to pray.

Please hear my plea.

Send my Daddy home to...

Who's that I hear?

Calling my name?

I run into his arms, yes, my Daddy came.

Home to me.

He's on his knees, now he's holding me.

For all eternity.

Please come home.

While the candles are burning.

Home at last.

Eyes a glow.

I hug my daddy tight, and I'm not letting go.
