Early one morning I heard through the wall
The voice of my daughter, "Daddy," she called
Put on my slippers, rushed to her door
Picked up her dolly that fell on the floor
Covered her warmly, tucked her in tight
Told her I loved her and kissed her goodnight
She asked me some questions I'll never forget
Questions that no one has answers for yet
Daddy, what is a bomb?
Daddy, where is Vietnam?
Daddy, who's Uncle Tom?
I wanna know, is it true
What Jimmy said, we'd all be dead?
Me and you and Mommy too?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Walked to my bedroom with tears in my eyes
Hearing the questions that have no replies
Tossing and turning 'til night turned to day
Over and over kept hearing her say
Daddy, what is a bomb?
Daddy, where is Vietnam?
Daddy, who's Uncle Tom?
I wanna know, is it true
What Jimmy said, we'd all be dead?
Me and you and Mommy too?
I wanna know, I wanna know
You go to sleep, darling
Say goodnight to Daddy
And don't you worry about that, we'll talk about it tomorrow morning
C'mon now, say goodnight to Daddy
Goodnight, baby
