Wynette, Tammy - Dear Daughters Lyrics
Dear daughters
Gwen, you're my oldest and you're quite a lady
You're my only blue eyed girl and you turn sixteen in April
And you sure made a change in my world
I'm sorry I missed the big evening, your first date and I wasn't around
Save all the secret things you did and tell me when I get to town
And on your graduation I wanted pictures to look back on
But then I wasn't there to take them, as usual I was gone
You've had to grow up much too quick and you've done it on your own
You did it without mama 'cause mama wasn't home
And Jackie, you're quite a lady too
You're just one year younger than Gwen
And there's so much that I'm missing like being mommy now and then
I remember the day you cooked your first meal, you were nine
And you called it to me how good it was 'cause I was out of town
And at the party for fathers and daughters, well, I know you felt out of place
And even the pretty dress I bought couldn't fill that empty space
And the time when you got sick and the doctors turned you down
They said they couldn't treat you with your mama out of town
And Tina, you're such a pretty girl with big almond eyes, brown
And they voted you a home coming queen when I was out of town
I know you were a beauty 'cause your sisters dressed you right
And you said it didn't matter that I was out of town that night
And the day that you joined the cheer leading team
Boy, nothing could hold you down, you yelled, "Hip hip hurray"
Over the phone 'cause as usual I was out of town
And Tamala Georgette Jones, you simply take my breath away
Born just six short years ago and named for your daddy and me
Going to sleep on [Incomprehensible] arm and listening to her hymn
Drifting off to fairy land while sucking on your thumb
While, just yesterday you pulled a tooth, you sure are brave and strong
I wish I could have been there but as usual I was gone

Wynette, Tammy Dear Daughters Comments
Georgette and sisters are so blessed to have this song about them ! Tammy loved you all so much !
I enjoy this video thank you share with fans . Mom truly love all you. Girls. Gift from mom this songs. Mom was greatest country music Queen. Gift from god voice and can sing great songs. Was hard times in past. But alway love you so you. God bless you all. She was wonderful lady. So prod got chance see her at Fan Fair 1989 was dream come true always love her music.
sure makes the tears fall...
Reality is pretty sad. You can tell she regretted missing all of their special moments. If I were a rich singer, I would hire a few nannies and haul my kids with me....might be tough on them but then we could have some special moments in between. RIP Tammy :)
love it
TAMMY SURE LOVED HER FAMILY, ITS SO SPECIAL.
THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO.

Makes the tears roll everytime...........Sigh
I remember when Tammy had me over and cooked Ham and Biscuits boy was it good. Of all the artist who i became friends with i miss her the most. Wished i could see the kids and tell them how much she used to talk about them to me.
Love this song, i remember i seen tammy perform and she talked about them and how much she loved her daughters and she sang dear daughters song and it brought most of the audience to tears.
@Benny1 Thank you very much my friend your comment.
I like both versions, but I prefer the live version over the studio version of this song,
