Daddy Dear Lyrics

Daddy dear, tell me please

Is it true what they say

In the heavens there's a cup

That gets fuller each day

And I've heard that Hashem

Keeps it close nearby

And He fills it with his tears

Each time that we cry

Zaidy told me, daddy dear

Did he tell you the same

That when sorrow strikes His people

Hashem feels all the pain

Tell me why does He cry

Far away in the sky

Tell me why, daddy dear

Are there tears in your eyes

Little one, little one

It is true, yes, it's true

Zaidy told me years ago

And his dad told him too

Fathers cry for their children

And Hashem does the same

When we hurt, so does He

Yes, He feels all our pain

Tears of pity from his eyes

In this cup, sadly flow

Till one day when it's full

All our troubles will go

We will dance we will fly

In the sky like the birds

And I cry little one

Because I'm touched by your words

One more question, daddy dear

Answer please, if you will

Just how deep is this cup

Tell me when will it fill

Don't you think it is time

That the sun forever shine

Don't you think it is time

Dear daddy of mine

Little one, it is time

And I've questioned that too

So let us ask him together

Together, me and you

Father dear, do You hear

Our worries, our fears

Will Your eyes ever dry

Is Your cup filled with tears
