    Daddy, I'm afraid,
D              G
 won't you stay a little while?
            D
Keep me safe 'cause there's monsters right outside
A
 Daddy, please don't go,
D           G
 I don't wanna be alone
             D
'Cause the second that you're gone they're gonna know
A              Bm                 A            G
 Before he went  to bed he grabbed my hand and said

[Chorus]
                   D            G
Just 'cause I'm leavin' It don't
                    Bm             A
mean that I won't be  right by your side
             D                G
When you need me And you can't
                 Bm        A
see me in the middle of the night
                    D          G
Just close your eyes and say a prayer
It's okay,
Bm             A
  I know you're scared when I'm not here
D        G
 But I'll always be right there
A                   G
 Even though I'm leavin',
          A
I ain't goin' nowhere

[Verse 2]
D G Bm A
        Dad, we'll be late,
D             G
 and Uncle Sam don't like to wait
           D
He's got a big old plane that's gonna take me far away
A
 I know I act tough,
D              G
 but there's a churnin' in my gut
             D
'Cause I just can't call you up when things get rough
A
 Before I left,
Bm                 A   G
  he hugged my neck and said

[Chorus]
                      D            G
Just 'cause you're leavin' It don't
                    Bm             A
mean that I won't be  right by your side
             D                G
When you need me And you can't
                 Bm        A
see me in the middle of the night
                    D          G
Just close your eyes and say a prayer
It's okay,
Bm             A
  I know you're scared I might be here
D        G
 But I'll always be right there
A                      G

There's no way that I can walk this road alone
