Eddy Arnold - My Daddy Is Only A Picture Lyrics
(Lyrics and music by Thomas C. Dilbeck)I asked a little boy to call his daddyHe said he couldn't and sighedAnd when I asked him what was wrongHere's what the little boy replied.My Daddy is only a picture,In a frame that hangs on the wallEach day I talk to my daddy,But he never talks at all.I tell him all of my secretsAnd all of my little plansAnd from the way he smiles at me,I know he understands.The angels took Daddy to heaven,When I was just goin' on threeBut I'll bet they never told himHow blue and lonesome we'd be.I try to cheer up my mommie,When the tears roll down her faceMy daddy is only a picture,But I'm tryin' to take his place.
