Please Daddy

I woke up this morning

The room felt empty and bare

As I turned to the closet

Your clothes were not there

I walked to the kichen

Found our little girl with a note

As I read it to myself

the tears began to flow and she said

Please daddy don't cry that way

I know mommy left us, but thats ok

Please daddy don't cry so hard

You don't know how it scares me

And I wish you would stop

Please daddy don't cry that way

'Cause I'm right here beside you

And I promised that I'll stay

I looked down at her

through tear stained eyes

It is though you were there in a tiny disguise

She clenches her pyjama

With that soft little hand

See all this that's happening

She can't quite understand but she says

Please daddy don't cry that way

I know mommy left us, but thats ok

Please daddy don't cry so hard

You don't know how it scares me

And I wish you would stop

Please daddy don't cry that way

'Cause I'm right here beside you

And I promised that I'll stay

Searching my heart

And trying to explain

But the words that come out

Are swollen with pain

She looks through my eyes

Right down to my soul

Sees all the hurt

That I can't control and she says

Please daddy don't cry that way

I know mommy left us, but that's ok

Please daddy don't cry so hard

You don't know how it scares me

And I wish you would stop

Please daddy don't cry that way

'Cause I'm right here beside you

And I promised that I'll stay

Please daddy don't cry that way

I'm right here beside you

And I promised that I'll stay
