I see the longing in your eyes
As I show you pictures of your mother
I hear the sadness in your little heart
As you listen to your mother's recorded singing
As do I little one, papa cries inside
I hear your silent wishes in the rain
Tears pitter patter as they hit the ground
Staining the earth
As you lost your mother's love
Don't cry little one
Papa's not far
Although I'm not perfect,
Nor am I a proper replacement for your mom,
Reach for the stars little one
Mother will grasp your little hands
The night sky is boundless
Just like your mother's love
The enchanting celestial beauty
She graces us her presence at night
In the heavenly bodies
Don't cry little one
Your mom is always watching you grow.

I see the longing in your eyes
As I show you pictures of your mother
I hear the sadness in your little heart
As you listen to your mother's recorded singing
As do I little one, papa cries inside
I hear your silent wishes in the rain
Tears pitter patter as they hit the ground
Staining the earth
As you lost your mother's love
Don't cry little one
Papa's not far
Although I'm not perfect,
Nor am I a proper replacement for your mom,
Reach for the stars little one
Mother will grasp your little hands
The night sky is boundless
Just like your mother's love
The enchanting celestial beauty
She graces us her presence at night
In the heavenly bodies
Don't cry little one
Your mom is always watching you grow.
