Mama will hold me Lyrics

Daddy didn't come home last night

And he won't be back next year

There's an empty place at our table now

And our eyes are wet with tears

How could I have known what will happen that day

When our nation?s freedom was ?..

A hateful act brought our buildings down

And innocent people died



Oh lord I miss my daddy

Keep him save for me

Hold him in your arms tonight

And mama will hold me



When he waved goodbye I never thought

That?s the last of him I'd see

And when he drove away to work that day

My dad was leaving me



Oh lord I love my daddy

Keep him save for me

Hold him in your arms tonight

And mama will hold me



Later on he called my mother

Said his last goodbye

He told her that he loved her

And she began to cry



And now some say daddy?s gone

I know he?s right here

Watching over all of us

And we?ve no need to fear



Oh lord I miss my daddy

Keep him save for me

Hold him in your arms tonight

And mama will hold me



Oh lord I love my daddy

Keep him save for me

Hold him in your arms tonight

And mama will hold me
