I remember when I was a little boy
And I had big dreams, I was filled with joy
I would give my all, who knew I'd make it this far?
But it ain't easy, please believe me, sometimes I'd fall
And I told my mom I pray she sees the day
When I'd make it big so I can ease her pain
I know she hurts inside, damn near wants to cry
I know your days are blue, Mama, I'll cry for you
So if you see me cry, cry, cry
Pretend it's from the sky, sky, sky
I'm crying so you ain't gotta cry no more
Let the raindrops just pour
'Til your river overflows
And I'll build you a waterfall
To my dad, please know that I understand
Wasn't always there, did the best you can
I know you meant me well, didn't mean no harm
Too bad things couldn't work out between you and moms
I"m a grown man now and I found my way
And you holding this hand seem like yesterday, whoa
Damn, how times flies by, pops, it's alright
You know I love you, Daddy, I'll cry for you
So if you see me cry, cry, cry
Pretend it's from the sky, sky, sky
I'm crying so you ain't gotta cry no more
Let the raindrops just pour
'Til your river overflows
And I'll build you a waterfall
Cry, cry, cry
Pretend it's from the sky, sky, sky
I'm crying so you ain't gotta cry no more
Let the raindrops just pour
'Til your river overflows
And I'll build you a waterfall
So if you see me cry, cry, cry
Pretend it's from the sky, sky, sky
I'm crying so you ain't gotta cry no more
Let the raindrops just pour
'Til your river overflows
And I'll build you a waterfall
Cry, cry, cry, oh
From the sky, from the sky, the blue sky
I'm crying so you ain't gotta cry no more, hey
Raindrops just pour, hey
'Til your river overflows
And I'll build you a waterfall
