YeahI know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right nowBut hey, what daddy always tell you?Straighten up little soldierStiffen up that upper lipWhat you crying about?You got meHailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dadWhen I’m gone but I’m trying to give you the life that I never hadI can see you’re sad, even when you smile, even when you laughI can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry‘Cause you’re scared, I ain’t there?Daddy’s with you in your prayersNo more crying, wipe them tearsDaddy’s here, no more nightmaresWe gonna pull together through it, we gonna do itLaney uncles crazy, ain’t he?Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know itWe’re all we got in this worldWhen it spins, when it swirlsWhen it whirls, when it twirlsTwo little beautiful girlsLookin’ puzzled, in a dazeI know it’s confusing youDaddy’s always on the move, mamma’s always on the newsI try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seemsThe harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on meAll the things growing up his daddy that he had to seeDaddy don’t want you to see but you see just as much as he didWe did not plan it to be this way, your mother and meBut things have gotten so bad between usI don’t see us ever being together ever againLike we used to be when we was teenagersBut then of course everything always happens for a reasonI guess it was never meant to beBut it’s just something we have no control over and that’s what destiny isBut no more worries, rest your head and go to sleepMaybe one day we’ll wake up and this will all just be a dreamNow hush little baby, don’t you cryEverything’s gonna be alrightStiffen that upper lip up little lady, I told yaDaddy’s here to hold ya through the nightI know mommy’s not here right now and we don’t know whyWe fear how we feel insideIt may seem a little crazy, pretty babyBut I promise momma’s gonna be alrightIt’s funnyI remember back one year when daddy had no moneyMommy wrapped the christmas presents upAnd stuck ’em under the tree and said some of ’em were from me‘Cause daddy couldn’t buy ’emI’ll never forget that christmas I sat up the whole night crying‘Cause daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a jobBut his job was to keep the food on the table for you and momAnd at the time every house that we lived inEither kept getting broke into and robbedOr shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jarTryin’ to start a piggy bank for you so you could go to collegeAlmost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole itAnd I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma’s heartAnd it seemed like everything was just startin’ to fall apartMom and dad was arguin’ a lot so momma moved backOn the chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartmentAnd dad moved back to the other side of 8 mile on NovaraAnd that’s when daddy went to california with his CD and met Dr. DreAnd flew you and momma out to see meBut daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave meThen you started seeing daddy on the t.V. And momma didn’t like itAnd you and Laney were to young to understand itPapa was a rollin’ stone, momma developed a habitAnd it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab itI’m just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand‘Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proudNow I’m sittin’ in this empty house, just reminiscingLookin’ at your baby pictures, it just trips me outTo see how much you both have grown, it’s almost like you’re sisters nowWow, guess you pretty much are and daddy’s still hereLaney I’m talkin’ to you too, daddy’s still hereI like the sound of that, yeahIt’s got a ring to it don’t it?Shh, momma’s only gone for the momentNow hush little baby, don’t you cryEverything’s gonna be alrightStiffen that upper lip up little lady, I told yaDaddy’s here to hold ya through the nightI know mommy’s not here right now and we don’t know whyWe fear how we feel insideIt may seem a little crazy, pretty babyBut I promise momma’s gonna be alrightAnd if you ask me tooDaddy’s gonna buy you a mockingbirdIma give you the worldIma buy a diamond ring for youIma sing for youI’ll do anything for you to see you smileAnd if that mockingbird don’t sing and that ring don’t shineIma break that birdies neckI’d go back to the jeweler who sold it to yaAnd make him eat every carat don’t f with dad (ha)
