The love between
the two of us
was dying
And it got so bad
I knew I had
to leave
But halfway down
that highway
when I turned
around I saw
My little daughter
running after me
Crying
Daddy, don't you
walk so fast
Daddy, don't you
walk so fast
Daddy, slow down
some 'cos you're
makin' me run
Daddy, don't you
walk so fast
Now it
broke my heart
to tell my
little daughter
That her daddy
had to run to
catch a plane
She had no way
of knowin'
I was leavin'
home for good
I turned around
and there she
was again
She cried and said
Daddy, don't you
walk so fast
My daughter cried
Daddy, don't you
walk so fast
Daddy, slow down
some 'cos you're
makin' me run
Daddy, don't you
walk so fast
If only for the sake
of my
sweet daughter
I just had to
turn back home
right there and then
And try to start
a new life
with the mother
of my child
I couldn't bear
to hear those
words again
She cried and said
Daddy, don't you
walk so fast
My daughter cried
Daddy, don't you
walk so fast
Daddy, slow down
some 'cos you're
makin' me run
Oh, daddy
don't you
walk so fast
Daddy, don't you
walk so fast
My daughter cried
daddy, don't you
walk so fast
