Daddy'€™s All Gone Lyrics

James Taylor (c) 1976
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 'Em, 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.
