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
( * )
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
( * )
