PAPA'S FOOTSTEPS.
Copyright, 1886, by L. C. Wegefarth.
Listen, papa's coming, darling,
Mamma whispers soft and low;
Yes, I hear his footsteps falling,
Run, kiss papa, baby, go.
With a smile of pure affection,
That care can never chase away;
And with happy expectation,
Do I hear my mother say:
Chorus.
Listen, papa's coming, darling,
Coming surely, dear, I know;
I hear his footsteps on the landing,
Baby, go kiss papa, go!
As I hear that low sweet murmur
Bubbling up from mamma's heart,
Truly do I know that never
Power there'll be these souls to part.
And if death should first call mother
From all her earthly cares away,
She'll be waiting there for father,
When he comes be heard to say;-Chorus.
