Even Though I'm Leaving

Daddy, I'm afraid, won't you stay a little while?
 Keep me safe 'cause there's monsters right outside
 Daddy, please don't go, I don't wanna be alone
 'Cause the second that you're gone they're gonna know
 Before he went to bed, he grabbed my hand and said
 "Just 'cause I'm leaving, it don't mean that
 I won't be right by your side
 When you need me and you can't see me
 In the middle of the night
 Just close your eyes and say a prayer
 It's okay, I know you're scared when I'm not here
 But I'll always be right there
 Even though I'm leaving, I ain't going nowhere"
 Dad, we'll be late, and Uncle Sam don't like to wait
 He's got a big old plane that's gonna take me far away
 I know I act tough, but there's a churning in my gut
 'Cause I just can't call you up when things get rough
 Before I left, he hugged my neck and said
 "Just 'cause you're leaving, it don't mean that
 I won't be right by your side
 When you need me and you can't see me
 In the middle of the night
 Just close your eyes and say a prayer
 It's okay, I know you're scared
 I might be here, but I'll always be right there
 Even though you're leaving, I ain't going nowhere"
 Daddy, I'm afraid, won't you stay a little while?
 I never thought I'd see the day I had to say goodbye
 Daddy, please don't go, I can't do this on my own
 There's no way that I can walk this road alone
 Daddy grabbed my hand and said
 "Just 'cause I'm leaving it don't mean that
 I won't be right by your side
 When you need me and you can't see me
 In the middle of the night
 Just close your eyes and say a prayer
 It's okay, boy, I ain't scared
 I won't be here, but I'll always be right there
 Even though I'm leaving, I ain't going nowhere"
 I ain't going nowhere
