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
