The Rainbow In Daddy's Eyes |
| On a cold and grey October day our family moved away |
| From a thirty acre farm in Tennessee |
| And the part for me in the schoolhouse play would have to wait |
| On a rainbow that only daddy would ever see. |
| That was when my mama started praying |
| Lord let him dream but make him realize |
| That dreams won’t feed the children that we’re raisin' today |
| Oh Lord take the rainbow from his eyes. |
| Well even after I grew older we kept waitin' for the home |
| That daddy kept on building in his mind |
| And on the day he passed away he took my mama’s hand |
| And said honey I can make it just give me time. |
| Jesus I pray that you’ll forgive him |
| For dreaming away my mama’s life |
| And Lord if there’s a rainbow up in heaven today |
| Please Lord let it shine in my daddy’s eyes… |
