Did You See My Daddy over There - Eddy Arnold
A little boy tugged gently at a soldier's khaki sleeve
He says forgive me mister
But you've been across I believe
I see the purple heart you were
It tells what you've been through
Perhaps you know my daddy sir
Because he's a soldier too
Did you see my daddy mister soldier
When you were fighting over there
I thought perhaps by chance
You met him there in France
Or somewhere over there across the sea
It's been so long since daddy went away
My mommy longs for him both night and day
I know it would make her glad if you had seen my dad
Did you see my daddy over there
The soldier's eyes grew misty
As he watched the boy's face
For it recalled a memory that time can not erase
A buddy lost in action
The best pal he ever had
Till death he carried or his heart a picture of this lad
Did you see my daddy mister soldier
When you were fighting over there
I thought perhaps by chance
You met him there in France
Or somewhere over there across the sea
It's been so long since daddy went away
My mommy longs for him both night and day
I know it would make her glad
If you had seen my dad
Did you see my daddy over there
