What a beautiful song. Reminds me of my son (Michael) crying and saying " cant you stay home tonight " I replied I can't. I was a father at 17 and my outside life was more important at the time. Now I have 4 beautiful grand children and I WONT make that mistake again. Im sorry Michael for being selfish. I love you so much-Dad
I love this song, my dad was always gone with work, and my mom stayed home and took care of us kids, she babysat kids so the 3 of us could go to a religious grade school, she was always there, I love her so
This song reminded her of her Dad, and he walked away from her mother & three young daughters (7, 5 and 3) because her Mom was a woman he just couldn't live with anymore, so he walked away from her. My Mom told me the day he walked away, she sat in the living room window crying and watching him. Well, now my Mom has passed away this year (and her Dad in 2003), and because she hated it, I love it just because it reminds me of her. I MISS & LOVE YOU, MOM!!
This is from a time when we thought about about our lyrics before we spit them out. That song just made me take a minute and think about myself. I am thankful I just tripped over this song. Pass is on.
Part 2: The only difference between this version by Newton, and the original(?) by Boone, is that Boone's voice is much lower and more manly sounding. But the Pre-hit version of Teenage in Love by Doc Pomus(it's writer) has completely different lyrics, and is called "Young And In Love". So you see, some songs started sounding completely different, from their later hit versions, while others, such as "Daddy..."are pretty much the same arrangement,but with a different singer.
This is the famous version, but it's not the original. The original was by Bristish pop star Daniel Boone(real name, Peter Stirling), who would eventually have a hit of his own called "Beautiful Sunday". Boone's original vesrion appears on "Before They Were Hits" Vol.4. Incidentally that's a series of CD's worth getting if you want to hear how certain
popular songs sounded, BEFORE they were made famous by someone else..To Be Continued...
i love this song everytime my parents and i use to listen to records i would always sit on my dads lap when this song came on its my daddy's and my song when i get married this song will play for the father and daughter dance

When I 1st heard it on the radio I thought it was a girl singing. Now even though I know it's a boy it's still very hard to tell!

This song reminds me of my Mom, actually.
This song reminded her of her Dad, and he walked away from her mother & three young daughters (7, 5 and 3) because her Mom was a woman he just couldn't live with anymore, so he walked away from her. My Mom told me the day he walked away, she sat in the living room window crying and watching him.
