(Daddy my daddy teach me how to pray) 
One night 
I sleep with a little boy now beside my bed 
He smiled, looked into my eyes and this is what he said 
Daddy my daddy you've taught me lots today 
So daddy my daddy teach me how to pray 
You brought me home a brand new kite, and you showed me how to fly it 
And there is no other kite that was there that could lock above so high 
I'd like to thank 
God for you but 
I don't know what to say 
So daddy my daddy teach me how to pray 
I had to turn and leave his room and he began to cry 
I didn't want my boy to know but (pause) so did 
I His best pal had failed him but, what was there to say 
For daddy, his daddy, had forgotten how to pray (Daddy my daddy teach me how to pray)
