Lyrics
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 leaving, 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 leaving, I ain't going 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 churning 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 leaving, 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 leaving, I ain't going 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 leaving 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 leaving, I ain't going nowhere"
I ain't going nowhere
