Sarah, Sarah,
I'm a thousand miles away.
I'd love to be holding you,
And watching you play.

Remember, I'm your father,
And I send you my love.
And I leave you this song.
I know it's not enough.

Red-hair Sarah,
Someday I will share
Some time with you.

Red-hair Sarah,
No matter where
I may be,
My love will be with you.

Sarah, Sarah,
I hope I'm always more
Than just a man
Who used to come to your door.

Going away doesn't say
You don't matter to me.
You're still my daughter,
And you will always be.

Red-hair Sarah,
Someday I will share
Some time with you.

Red-hair Sarah,
No matter where
I may be,
My love will be with you.
