Come Away Melinda Lyrics

Daddy, Daddy, come and look
See what I have found
A little ways away from here
Whilst digging in the ground

Come away, Melinda
Come in and close the door
It′s nothing, just a picture book
We had before the war

Daddy, Daddy, come and see
Daddy, come and look
Why, there's four or five little Melinda girls
Inside my picture book

Come away, Melinda
Come in and close the door
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the war

Daddy, Daddy, come and look
Oh, Daddy, hurry, do
Why, there′s someone in a pretty dress
She's all grown up like you
Won't you tell me why?

Come away, Melinda
Come in and close the door
That someone is your Mommy
You had before the war

Daddy, Daddy, tell me if you can
Why can′t things be the way they were
Before the war began?

Come away, Melinda
Come in and close the door
The answer lies in yesterday
