Daddy Tell Me a Story

| [VERSE 1] |
| Daddy tell me a story |
| He whispered in my ear |
| But tonight make it different |
| Tell me one I need to hear |
| Daddy, I know you're not supposed to lie |
| But I keep seeing mommy cry |
| And tonight I thought I heard you say goodbye |
| [CHORUS] |
| So Daddy tell me a story |
| So I can go to sleep |
| Tell me you and mommy will always be together here with me |
| Daddy, hold me close and hold me tight |
| And I'll know everything's alright |
| Daddy, tell me a story tonight |
| [VERSE 2] |
| I just sat there beside him |
| Holding back my tears |
| Seeking words that would comfort |
| And ease his greatest fears |
| Cause what he said to me was true |
| I wondered just how much he knew |
| And what's a simple man like me to do |
| [VERSE 3] |
| As I laid down in bed that night |
| I prayed to God with all my might |
| To lead me through this with his guiding light |
| To give me strength and help me find |
| A way to put the past behind |
| And his little words kept running through my mind |
| [REPEAT CHORUS] |
