Daddy do you remember
That time when I was two
You took a picture
And put it on a key chain for you.
Daddy do you remember
That time when I was four
You gave me Ice and some candy
Cause I shut my fingers in the door.
Daddy do you remember
That time when I was five
It was my first day of school
Oh, how I felt so alive.
Daddy do you remember
That time when I was six
You brought me back a model
Of the Statue of liberty from your trip.
Daddy do you remember
That same year grandma died
You got deathly ill too
And everyone just cried?
Daddy do you remember
When you had to quit your job
And mommy went to work
To sell shoes to the Christmas mob
Daddy do you remember
When I was eight years old
We would dance around the living room
To singers from long ago
Daddy do you remember
When I was ten
Mommy was working longer
So we could have money to spend.
Daddy do you remember
The year that I turned eleven
And Mommy got a real job
So she could feed us seven.
Daddy do you remember
That lonely fall night when I was thirteen
I had to tell you and mom
About the rape and what I’d seen
Daddy do you remember
When I turned fourteen
I was so lucky to get everything I wanted
Which was just my family
Daddy do you remember
My first day of high school
Your little girl has grown up
And doesn’t quite follow the rules
I know soon you will die
But I wish you could live forever
But daddy please don’t forget
The good and bad times we had to endeavor
