Loggins & Messina

Loggins and Messina was an American pop rock duo consisting of Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina, who achieved major chart success during the 1970s. Among their well-known songs are "Danny's Song", "House at Pooh Corner", and "Your Mama Don't Dance". After selling more than 16 million records and becoming one of the leading musical duos of the 1970s, Loggins and Messina separated in 1976. Although Messina would find only limited popularity following the breakup, Loggins went on to achieve major chart success in the 1980s. In 2005 and again in 2009, Loggins and Messina reformed for tours in the United States. more »

When I was a child
So wild and free
Sometimes I'd stumbled
Or fall from a tree

But I didn't worry
And I didn't care
I knew that my daddy
Would always be there

Oh, he was my friend
When no one could make
Never too busy
Oh, he'd find a way

Then off we would rambled
With the wind in our hair
I knew that my daddy
Would always be there

But time has no mercy
For a growing young soul
It leaves us with memories
While it makes us grow old

I left my heart
When school days were through
With visions of freedom
Oh, when dreams do come true

I've never worried
And I've never cared
I knew that my daddy
Would always be there

One night while traveling
Word came by phone
The message was simple
You're needed at home

So once I did worry
For once I did care
I prayed that my daddy would wait for me there

Time has no mercy
For the growing young soul
It leaves us with memories
While it makes us grow old

But time has no mercy
For the growing young soul
It leaves us with memories
While it makes us grow old
While it makes us grow old
