   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 COME HOME

   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?
   I need to pray…
   …Please hear my plea
   Send my Daddy home to...

   …Who's that I hear
   Calling my name
   I run into his arms
   Yes, my Daddy came
   Home to me
   He’s on his knees
   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

   THOSE WERE THE NIGHTS

   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
   He warned us that Aunt Bertha couldn’t bake
   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
   It’s what Bubby would have done
   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.......
