I will never forget the night I saw my father cry I was frightened and alone and his tears were burning in my eyes deep in my soul I held him tight and tried to ease the pain
Father in heaven it's no secret at all when You think of Your children how far they are from home two tender tears fall from Your eyes and Your cries shake the world I cannot bear to see You this way
Father don't cry I love You too much to see You in pain and and only You Who created tears can wipe them away forever so bring on the day when there'll be only joy You and I will smile bring on the day when there'll be be no more tears we'll never cry again
I know it's tears of love but still it hurts me just the same You have always held my hand and now I want to hold Yours too and be there for You don't You agree it's time to send the tears away
Father in heaven there's no reason at all Your precious children still are so far from home we've done all we can now it's in Your hands let it end, oh, let it end, the whole world is waiting for You
Father don't cry I love You too much to see You in pain and and only You who created tears can wipe them away forever so bring on the day when there'll be only joy You and I will smile bring on the day when there'll be be no more tears we'll never cry again
