Lyrics

I Never Saw My Daddy Cry

just the other day or so
dad walked in with a crushing blow
his doctor told him not cry
he looked at me with tears in his eyes

he gave me a hug and sat me down
he tried to wipe off, my curious frown
he told me he has to go away
he gave me a bible and said to pray

I never saw my daddy cry
now he's telling me goodbye
I never saw my daddy cry
I sit and wonder why oh why

he told me his life had past him by
did some things he can't deny
chose a path that hurt us all
now he's up against the wall

I never saw my daddy cry
now he's telling me goodbye
I never saw my daddy cry
I sit and wonder why oh why

he told me that, he loves me so
even if the summers snow
my time with dad has come to the end
not just my dad, but my very best friend

he told me that, he loves me so
he told me that, he loves me so

I never saw my daddy cry
oh please daddy, please don't die
