Daddy Dear - Mbd

Daddy dear, tell me please-

Is it true what they say?

In the heavens, there’s a call

that gets fuller each day-

and I’ve heard that Hashem

keeps it close nearby

and He fills it with His tears

each time that we cry.

Grandpa told me, Daddy dear-

did he tell you the same?

That when sorrow strikes His people,

Hashem feels all the pain.

Tell me, why does He cry

far away in the sky?

Tell me, why, Daddy dear

are there tears in your eyes?

Little one

little one,

it is true, yes, it’s true.

Zayde told me years ago,

and his dad told him too.

Fathers cry for their children,

and Hashem does the same.

When we hurt, so does He.

Yes, He feels our pain.

Tears of pity from his eyes

in His cup sadly flow

'til one day, when it’s full,

all our troubles will go.

We will dance, we will fly

in the sky like the birds.

And I cry, little one,

'cuz I’m touched by your words.

One more question, Daddy dear,

answer please if you will-

just how deep is this cup?

Tell me, when will it fill?

Don’t you think it is time

that the sun forever shine?

Don’t you think it is time

dear Daddy of mine?

Little one, it is time,

and I’ve questioned that too.

So let us ask him together,

together me and you

Father dear, do You hear

our worries, our fears?

Will Your eyes ever dry?

Is your cup filled with tears?

END
