(Peter Callander — Geoff Stephens)
The love between the two of us was dying
And it got so bad I knew I had to leave
But halfway down the highway when I turned around and saw
My little girl a running after me.
Crying daddy don’t you walk so fast
Daddy don’t you walk so fast
Daddy slow me down some ’cause you’re making me run
Daddy don’t you walk so fast.
It broke my heart to tell my little baby
That her daddy had to run and catch a train
She had no way of knowing I was leaving home for good
I turned around and there she was again.
Crying daddy don’t you walk so fast
Daddy don’t you walk so fast
Daddy slow me down some ’cause you’re making me run
Daddy don’t you walk so fast.
Only for the sake of my sweet daughter
I just had to turn back home right there and then
I try to start a new life with the mother of my child
I couldn’t bear to hear those words again.
She said daddy don’t you walk so fast
Daddy don’t you walk so fast
Daddy slow me down some ’cause you’re making me run
Daddy don’t you walk so fast…
