Daddy, Don't You Walk So Fast Lyrics
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 'cause you're making 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 train.
She had no way of knowing I was leaving home for good.
I turned around and there she was again
And she said to me,
"Daddy, don't you walk so fast."
My darling cried,
"Daddy, don't you walk so fast.
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're making 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 then and there
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 darling cried,
"Daddy, don't you walk so fast.
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're making me run.
Daddy, don't you walk so fast."
"Daddy, don't you walk so fast."
My darling cried,
"Daddy, don't you walk so fast.
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're making me run.
Daddy, don't you walk so fast."
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, slow down some 'cause you're making me run.
Daddy, don't you walk so fast."
That her daddy had to run to catch a train.
She had no way of knowing I was leaving home for good.
I turned around and there she was again
And she said to me,
My darling cried,
"Daddy, don't you walk so fast.
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're making me run.
Daddy, don't you walk so fast."
I just had to turn back home right then and there
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,
My darling cried,
"Daddy, don't you walk so fast.
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're making me run.
Daddy, don't you walk so fast."
My darling cried,
"Daddy, don't you walk so fast.
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're making me run.
Daddy, don't you walk so fast."

What - No love for Wayne Newton ???
This may not be his most well known song - but it is classic 70s story song. I heard it again today on a replay of America's Top 40 from 1972 with Casey Kasem on Sirius on 7 - and I had to stop and look it up.
One of the ultimate cheezy song of the 70s - but the way Wayne delivers it gets me every time.
