He drops his suitcase by the door She knows her daddy…

“He drops his suitcase by the door She knows her daddy won't be back anymore She drags her feet across the floor Tryna hold back time to keep him holding on And she says [Pre Chorus:] Daddy Daddy don't leave I'll do anything to keep you Right here with me Can't you see how much I need you Daddy…” quote by Frankie J
