Daddy Can you Help Me Mend (my Mommy's Broken Heart)
(c) 2015-04-15 Richard F Parke
V1
G C
Daddy can you help me mend my mommy's
G
broken heart
C G D
I never thought that you and she would end
G C G
Now the family has been pulled apart
C G D
She says she thought you'd always be her
G
friend

V2
I know that long ago she found a new love
The love of her life is what she called him then
I remember when I was small that love came from above
And mom and daddy taught us that God was our best friend

------- INSTRUMENTAL SECTION --------

V3 (Omitted from recorded version )
So daddy, I think the heart in mommy's hurting real bad
There is a place inside that still feels sore
Or maybe its longing for a feeling she once had
She had hoped it would last a lifetime, and forever more

CHORUS
C G
How can there be something and then nothing later on
C G D
How can there be day and then night comes along
C Bmi Emi A
How can the tides of the ocean rise and fall
C Bmi Emi D G
How can there be a family and then we lose it all

------- INSTRUMENTAL SECTION --------

V4
Mommy can you help me mend my daddy's broken heart
Between the bottle and his work it seems he always goes away
I remember when the family always was so close
Somehow I still hope that it will be again some day

V5
I know that long ago my daddy watched you walkin out that door
My brothers and my sisters too, we all saw you go
What made you leave our happy home to look for something more
The answer to these questions I may never know

V6
So mommy, I think the heart in daddy's hurting real bad
There is a place inside that still feels sore
Maybe its a longing for a feeling he once had
He had hoped it would last a lifetime, and forever more

"So, what is LRig Slatner?" - I was with my daughters and friends celebrating a birthday at the Anderson Mill Skating Rink, now closed. Bored, I read the signs. "Skate Rentals". "Girls Restroom". So I took the two middle words and reversed them and came up with "LRig Slatner". My daughters liked it as a band name, so I used it. ... more
