Verse 1: A dear little girl kissed her Mamma “Good-night”, Then softly climbed the stairs; Her mother stood near whilst her sweet little dear, Was saying her ev’ning pray’rs. She said: “God bless Mamma and my Daddy dear, For he is so far away, Dear Lord hear my pray’r for my Daddy out there, And bring him home safe some day.”
Chorus: “God protect my Daddy, Send him home some day, I feel sad and lonely, Since he went away. Somewhere he is fighting Far across the sea, God protect my Daddy dear, And send him back to me.”
Verse 2: Somewhere in France there’s a brave soldier boy, Thinking of Home, Sweet Home, He’s longing for news from his loved ones so dear, Far away o’er the foam. At last come a letter with kisses for Dad, And also a baby’s pray’r, “God bless and protect by dear Daddy from harm, Whilst he’s fighting over there.”
