I remember when daddy used to tell us bedtime stories |
|
As we went to sleep, choosing words that last forever, ooh |
|
And when I'm feeling lost, thinking that |
|
I cannot find my way |
|
Those words still come to me while |
|
I'm kneeling down to pray |
|
I can hear daddy say, ' |
|
Keep the faith and hold on |
|
And don't let go of the promises in what he said |
|
Troubles don't last always"Don't let go to the mystery of his word'Cause joy's gonna come in the morningDon't let go, don't let go, oohI remember times I try to do it all my wayIt always seemed to end with me falling on my face, oohThe long and winding road sometimes turn into a pile of sandThose words still come to me while I'm kneeling downKneeling down to prayI can feel my daddy say, " |
|
Keep the faith and hold on |
|
Don't let go of the promises in what he said |
|
Troubles don't last always", oohDon't let go to the mystery of his word'Cause joy's gonna come in the morningDaddy said, " |
|
All the angels are singing in heaven |
|
And I know they can be heard everywhere |
|
Through the trials and tribulations we go through |
|
