Daddy's Arms

Karl Kohlhase


Daddy, can you leave the hall light on?
I can't fall asleep when I'm all alone.
'Cause if I close my eyes, I may have a bad dream.
If I cry in the night who will come for me?

Daddy's arms will rescue me.

Daddy, I don't think I can learn to swim.
I fear I'm gonna sink if I jump right in.
I don't have a vest or my floaties on.
But I see you in the deep with your open arms.

Daddy's arms will rescue me.

Yes, I wanna know how the big boys feel,
But I only wanna ride with my training wheels.
'Cause if I fall down I will scrape my knee.
Maybe if you run right along with me.

Daddy's arms will rescue me.
