Daddy Dear

Am             E 
Daddy dear, tell me please, 
        Dm    F   E   Am 
Is it true what they say? 
          A               Dm 
In the heavens theres a cup 
            G      A7  Dm 
That gets fuller each day, 
        Am          F 
And I heard that Hashem 
           G     C 
Keeps it close nearby, 
        Am                 E 
And He fills it with his tears 
      Dm   F    E  Am 
Each time that we cry. 

        A             Dm 
Zaidy told me, daddy dear, 
         G            C 
Did he tell you the same? 
            Am                 F 
That when sorrow strikes His people, 
   G                   C 
Hashem feels all the pain. 
         Am          D 
Tell me why does He cry 
      Fmaj7      D7 
Far away in the sky? 
         Am         E 
Tell me why, daddy dear, 
            Dm   F  E7   Am 
Are there tears in your eyes. 

        Am          E 
Little one, little one 
        Dm   F    E7   Am 
It is true, yes, its true, 
          A          Dm 
Zaidy told me years ago, 
         G       A7   Dm 
And his dad told him too, 
         Am              F 
Fathers cry for their children, 
      G               C 
And Hashem does the same, 
         Am           E 
When we hurt, so does He, 
          Dm   E7  Am 
Yes, He feels our pain. 

           A            Dm 
Tears of pity from his eyes, 
         G          C 
In this cup, sadly flow, 
        Am               F 
Till one day when its full, 
           G          C 
All our troubles will go, 
          Am            D 
We will dance, we will fly, 
        Fmaj7         D7 
In the sky like the birds, 
       Am         E 
And I cry little one, 
              Dm    F   E7   Am 
Because Im touched by your words. 

            Am             E 
One more question, daddy dear 
          Dm    F  E7  Am 
Answer please, if you will, 
          A            Dm 
Just how deep is this cup 
         G     A7     Dm 
Tell me when will it fill, 
            Am          F 
Dont you think it is time 
          G            C 
That the sun forever shine 
            Am         E 
Dont you think it is time 
       Dm  E7  Am 
Dear daddy of mine? 

        A          Dm 
Little one, it is time, 
             F        G   C 
And Ive questioned that too, 
           Am         F 
So let us ask him together 
           G      C 
Together, me and you, 
        Am           D 
Father dear, do You hear 
      Fmaj7        D7 
Our worries, our fears, 
           Am        E 
Will Your eyes ever dry 
               E7         Am 
Is Your cup filled with tears?
