| Daddy, I’m afraid, won’t you stay a little while?
|
| Keep me safe 'cause there’s monsters right outside
|
| Daddy, please don’t go, I don’t wanna be alone
|
| 'Cause the second that you’re gone they’re gonna know
|
| Before he went to bed he grabbed my hand and said
|
| Just 'cause I’m leavin'
|
| It don’t mean that I won’t be right by your side
|
| When you need me
|
| And you can’t see me in the middle of the night
|
| Just close your eyes and say a prayer
|
| It’s okay, I know you’re scared when I’m not here
|
| But I’ll always be right there
|
| Even though I’m leavin', I ain’t goin' nowhere
|
| Dad, we’ll be late, and Uncle Sam don’t like to wait
|
| He’s got a big old plane that’s gonna take me far away
|
| I know I act tough, but there’s a churnin' in my gut
|
| 'Cause I just can’t call you up when things get rough
|
| Before I left, he hugged my neck and said
|
| Just 'cause you’re leavin'
|
| It don’t mean that I won’t be right by your side
|
| When you need me
|
| And you can’t see me in the middle of the night
|
| Just close your eyes and say a prayer
|
| It’s okay, I know you’re scared I might be here
|
| But I’ll always be right there
|
| Even though you’re leavin', I ain’t goin' nowhere
|
| Daddy, I’m afraid, won’t you stay a little while?
|
| I never thought I’d see the day I had to say goodbye
|
| Daddy, please don’t go, I can’t do this on my own
|
| There’s no way that I can walk this road alone
|
| Daddy grabbed my hand and said
|
| Just 'cause I’m leavin'
|
| It don’t mean that I won’t be right by your side
|
| When you need me
|
| And you can’t see me in the middle of the night
|
| Just close your eyes and say a prayer
|
| It’s okay, boy, I ain’t scared
|
| I won’t be here, but I’ll always be right there
|
| Even though I’m leavin', I ain’t goin' nowhere
|
| I ain’t goin' nowhere |
