‘Cause her daddy ran away
And she doesn’t know when she’ll see him again
She’s living from day to day

She finally turns and walk away
Is that all there is to love
If there’s a little more everyday

How a mask can feel so good
Now all that it is, is a memory
‘Cause it made me feel just like a child as you

Now an old man sits by the telephone
Fading photos on the wall
You see, his wife died ten long years ago
And his children never seem to call

As you finally turn and walk away
Is that all there is to love
If there’s a little more everyday

No, no no no no…
