There will be tears, I've no doubt

There may be smiles but a few

And when those tears have run out

We'll be numb and blue (blue)

I can't be there with you, but I can dream

I can't be there with you, but I can dream

I can't be there with you, but I can dream

I can't be there with you, but I can dream

I can't be there with you, but I can dream

I can't be there with you, but I can dream

I still dream dream dream, I still dream

My grandaddy was a player, pretty boy in a pair of gators

See I met him later on, think it was 1991

The only dad I'd ever know, but pretty soon he'd be gone too

Hide my face, hide my face, can't let 'em see me crying

Cause these boys didn't have no fathers neither

And they weren't crying, my friend said it wasn't so bad

You can't miss what you ain't had, well I can, I'm sad and

There will be tears, I've no doubt

There may be smiles but a few

And when those tears have run out

You will be numb and blue

I can't be there, that's all you had to say to me was

You couldn't be there, why couldn't you say to me

You won't be there, you coulda warned me

You wouldn't be here right here, you wouldn't be here for me, N
