[Peter Callender and Geoff Stephens] 

The love between the two of us was dying 
And it got so bad I knew I had to leave 
But halfway down that highway 
When I turned around I saw 
My little daughter running after me 
Crying 

Daddy, don´t you walk so fast 
Daddy, don´t you walk so fast 
Daddy, slow down some 
'Cause you´re makin´ me run 
Daddy, don´t you walk so fast

Now it broke my heart to tell my little daughter 
That her daddy had to run to catch a train 
She had no way of knowin' I was leavin' home for good 
I turned around and there she was again 
As she said to me 

Daddy, don´t you walk so fast 
My darlin' cried 
Daddy, don´t you walk so fast 
Daddy, slow down some 
'Cause you´re makin' me run 
Daddy, don´t you walk so fast 

If only for the sake of my sweet daughter 
I just had to turn back home right there and then 
And try to start a new life with the mother of my child 
I couldn´t bear to hear those words again 
She cried and said 

Daddy, don´t you walk so fast 
My darlin´ cried 
Daddy, don´t you walk so fast 
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you´re makin´ me run 
Oh, daddy, don´t you walk so fast 

(Daddy, don´t you walk so fast) 
My darlin´ cried 
(Daddy, don´t you walk so fast) 


Ah, daddy, slow down some 
´Cause you´re making me run
