Just the other day I fell and scraped my knee
and I ran to you like I used to do
a long, long time ago
Just the other day I had a dream of you
you were holding me like you used to do
a long, long time ago
     Daddy, how could you?  Daddy, why did you?
     Take your love away.

Just the other day a friend of mine told me
bout her loving dad and the fun they have
it made me feel so sad
Just the other day I saw a man like you
he was holding hands with his little girl
just like you used to do
     Daddy, how could you?  Daddy, why did you?
     Break my trust that day.

Just the other day I thought I heard your voice
You were telling me to put my dolls away
to come by you and play
Just the other day I know I saw your face
looking down at me with your trusting eyes
I can't forget your smile
     Daddy, how could you?  Daddy, why did you?
     Make me hurt that way.

Just the other day I had another dream
you were holding me like you used to do
A long, long time ago
Just the other day I heard a voice tell me
You were never there and you never cared
I did not want to know
     Daddy, how could you?  Daddy, why did you?
     Break my heart that day.
