Does anyone know the lyrics to “Daddy Come Home” [and “Those Were the Nights”] on the new YBC CD (Chanuka). We bought the downloadable songs, so we don’t have a songbook.
Thanks

Daddy’s been gone
Gone for so long
For him I pray
He joined the Corps
Fighting a war
Somewhere far away
He promised me he’d return
When the Chanukah candles burn
So here I wait
The blessings I recite
By the candle-light
But it’s getting late
CHORUS:
Daddy come home
Stay with me
Let me hold your hand
Let me sit upon your knee
I see fear
In Mommy’s eyes
Every time she cries
And tries to comfort me
It’s scary here at home
My mind begins to roam
Have I lost you?
I hear the phone
Mommy’s mournful moan
It can’t be true!
CHORUS
Where has he gone?
How will I carry on?
Tell me what can I say?
Send my Daddy home to…
Calling my name
I run into his arms
Yes, my Daddy came
Home to me
Now he’s holding me
For all eternity
When night falls
We stand tall
Eight candles are burning
Home at last
Eyes aglow
I hug my Daddy tight
And I’m not letting go

Bubby burned the Latkes every Chanukah
Forgot them in the frying pan each year
While we were having fun playing Dreidle
Smoke alarms were wailing everywhere
Firemen were breaking all the windows
Zeidy closed his eyes, began to pray
Those Latkes had no luck
Our mouths bit down & stuck
But Bubby made us eat them anyway
CHORUS:
Those were the nights of Chanukah
I remember long ago
When our family got together
Little eyes aglow
Multi-colored candles burning
As the joyous songs were sung
How I miss the Menorah lights
When we were all so young
Uncle Jake bought donuts by the dozen
But Uncle Hymie ate while singing Maoz Tzur
And that was Uncle Hymie’s big mistake
Our parents stood there beaming as they called us
And handed us our presents one by one
Bathed in the light
The Menorah burning bright
Sweet memories as brilliant as the sun
CHORUS
Where are those nights? Full of fun, full of lights
I can still hear their laughter and songs
But though they are gone, their spirit still lives on
For Bubby’s love is still alive and strong
CHORUS
Those were the nights of Chanukah
Spent with family and friends
Filled with dreams and laughter
That we thought would never end
So cherish your moments together
And we wish a happy Chanukah
To everyone

Daddy Come Home
But he can’t
The judge say
He has to stay
In koilel to learn
As a guest of the Feds
So far away…….
