Lyrics

I followed a string as it wandered through the house
Didn't know what it would bring, but I knew that I'd find out
I opened a door and there sat my little girl
Crumpled on the floor, with her eyes filled up with tears

Chorus: She said, "Mommy, I can't forget who my daddy is"
But there's Not Enough String
To remember everything
There's just Not Enough String

Wiping her tears, I tried to find the words
But her daddy went away and he never would return
But what does that mean to such a little child
With a ball of simple string and those questions in her eyes

Chorus

There are so many ways daddies go away
But it really doesn't change a thing
There's still Not Enough String

All I could do is hold her and say I understood
With all that's wrong in this world, can I help her see some good
But how can she know when she's fast asleep in bed
The memories I hold, locked in my head,
knowing each day will bring what she said

Chorus (2x)
