Lyric Don t Cry

(Words: K. Heinzman, Music: B. Holderman)

I don t know how to say this
I think about you everyday
I never got to see you
I don t even know your name

I close my eyes to picture you
And my thoughts begin to turn
Would you have been my little man
Or daddy s little girl?

I never got to hear the words,
"Daddy, take my hand."
I ll never watch you write your name
It s just so hard to understand

CHORUS I

As I wipe away my tears
I can faintly hear
A gentle voice keep saying,
"Don t Cry."

Never got to hear your voice
Calling out to me
Never got to worry
About how you d turn out to be

My love for you grows stronger
As I hold your momma tight
Her body shakes from crying
And I pray with all my might

The life you live is better now
Than the life you d have with us
I only wish we d had the chance
To give you all our love

CHORUS II

As I wipe away from tears
I can faintly hear
A gently voice keep saying,
"Don t cry
Close your eyes and hear me
I know the pain you re feeling now
Is more than you can bear
But don t cry.
I know it s hard to believe me
But trust me, Son, your eyes will dry
And your life will carry on
Just know your child rests with me
And don t cry."

Will you recognize me
When I see you in the end?
Will you call me father
Or will you call me friend?

CHORUS I out
