I got out of my bed early in the morning
Went quietly to check on my dad
Who was having his breakfast and reading the paper
I watched from the hall and was sad

Then dad finished his coffee and he stood up to go
I ran to him with all that I had
He turned to me and opened his arms
He said son why you looking so sad

I cried daddy don't leave me
Daddy don't go
Daddy don't leave me alone

I got out of bed early in the morning
Got down on my knees to pray
To Him who gives me His everything
I need Him to get through my day

Then the telephone rang and I said hello
Dad said son I got something to say
I need you to be here to hold in my arms
I need you to be here today

I cried father don't leave me
Father don't go
Father don't leave me alone

My father is gone now but I'm not alone
My wife stays right by my side
But I'm empty and hurting I have no direction
There's nowhere to run and hide

Then I remembered what he told me on the day that he died
He said son I love you but seek the Father
Son I love you but His kingdom is greater
Son I love you but seek the Father
You'll get there through Jesus Christ

I was having my breakfast early in the morning
I was quietly thinking of dad
I remembered the good times and heard him laughing
I closed my eyes and felt sad

Then I finished my coffee and I stood up to go
He ran to me with all that he had
I turned to my son and opened my arms
And said why are you looking so sad

He cried daddy don't leave me
Daddy don't go
Daddy don't leave me alone
Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't go
Daddy don't leave me alone

He cried daddy don't leave me
Daddy don't go
Daddy don't leave me alone
Daddy don't leave me
Daddy don't go
Daddy don't leave me alone

Daddy don't go
You'll get there through Jesus Christ
