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 as 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 makin' me run
Daddy, don't you walk so fast
It broke my heart to tell my little daughter
That her daddy had to run and catch a train
She had no way of knowin' I was leavin' home for good
I turned around and there she was again
Crying
Daddy, don't you walk so fast (my daughter cried)
Daddy, don't you walk so fast
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' 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 there and then
And try to start a new life with the mother of my child
I couldn't bear to hear those words again
She said
Daddy, don't you walk so fast (my daughter cried)
Daddy, don't you walk so fast
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run
Daddy, don't you walk so fast
Won’t you, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run
Oh, daddy, don't you walk so fast
