Daddy (c1914 to 1918)

Daddy 1 c 1914 1918 illustrated verse

"Take my head on your shoulder, Daddy, turn your face to the west,
It is just the hour when the sky turns gold the hour that Mother loves best.
The day has been long without you, Daddy, you've been such a while away,
And now you're as tired of your work, Daddy, as I am tired of my play.
But I've got you, and you've got me, so everything seems right,
I wonder if Mother is thinking of us, because it is my birthday night."
