Mockingbird

Dans le style de

Paroles

yeah
i know sometimes

things may not always make
sense to you right now

but hey
daddy always tell you?

straighten up little soldier
stiffen up that upper lip

what you cryin' about?
you got me

hailie i know you
miss your mom

and i know you miss your dad
when i'm gone but

i'm tryin' to give
you the life that i never had

i can see you're sad
even when you smile

even when you laugh
i can see it in your eyes

deep inside you wanna cry
'cos you're scared i ain't there

daddy's with you
in your prayers

no more cryin' wipe them tears
daddy's here no

more nightmares
we gon' pull

together through it
we gon' do it lainie

uncle's crazy ain't he?
yeah but he loves you girl

and you better know it
we're all we got in this world

when it spins when it swirls
when it whirls when it twirls

two little beautiful girls
lookin' puzzled in a daze

i know it's confusin' you
daddy's always on the move

momma's always on the news
i try to keep you sheltered

from it but somehow it seems
the harder that i try to do

that the more it backfires
on me all the things growin'

up as daddy that he had to see
daddy don't want you to see

but you see just as
much as he did

we did not plan it
to be this way

your mother and me
but things have got

so bad between
us i don't see us ever bein'

together ever again
like we used to be

when we was teenagers
but then of course everything

always happens for a reason
i guess it was

never meant to be
but it's just something

we have no control over
and that's what destiny is

but no more worries rest your
head and go to sleep

maybe one day we'll wake up
and this'll all just be a dream

now hush little baby
don't you cry

everything's gonna
be alright

stiffen that upper lip up
little lady i told ya

daddy's here to hold ya
through the night

i know mommy's not
here right now

and we don't know why
we feel how we feel inside

it may seem a little crazy
pretty baby

but i promise
momma's gon' be alright

huh it's funny i
remember back one

year when daddy had no money
mommy wrapped the

christmas presents up
and stuck 'em under the tree

and said some of
'em were from me

'cos daddy couldn't buy 'em
i'll never forget

that christmas i
sat up the whole night cryin'

'cos daddy felt like a bum
see daddy had a job but his job

was to keep the food on the
table for you and mom

and at the time
every house that we lived in

either kept gettin' broken
into and robbed or shot up

on the block and your mom
was savin' money

for you in a jar
tryin' to start a piggy bank for

you so you could go to college
almost had a thousand dollars

'till someone broke in
and stole it

and i know it hurt so bad
it broke your momma's heart

and it seemed
like everything was

just startin' to fall apart
mom and dad was arguin'

a lot so momma moved back
on to chalmers in the flat

one bedroom apartment
and dad moved back

to the other side of
eight mile on novara

and that's when daddy went
to california with his cd

and met doctor dre and flew
you and momma out to see me

but daddy had to work
you and momma had

to leave me
then you started seein'

daddy on the tv
and momma didn't like it

and you and lainie were
too young to understand it

papa was a rolling stone
momma developed a habit

and it all happened too fast for
either one of us to grab it

i'm just sorry you were there
and had to witness it first hand

'cos all i ever wanted to
do was just make you proud

now i'm sittin' in
this empty house

just reminiscin' lookin'
at your baby

pictures it just trips me out
to see how much

you both have
grown it's almost like

you're sisters now
wow guess you

pretty much are
and daddy's still here

lainie i'm talkin' to you too
daddy's still here

i like the sound of that yeah
it's got a ring to it don't it?

shh momma's only gone
for the moment

now hush little baby
don't you cry

everything's gonna
be alright

stiffen that upper lip up
little lady i told ya

daddy's here to hold ya
through the night

i know mommy's not
here right now

and we don't know why
we feel how we feel inside

it may seem a little crazy
pretty baby

but i promise
momma's gon' be alright

and if you ask me to daddy's
gonna buy you a mockingbird

i'ma give you the world
i'ma buy a diamond ring

for you i'ma sing for you
i'll do anything for you

to see you smile
and if that mockingbird

don't sing and that ring
don't shine

i'ma break that birdie's neck
i'll go back to the jeweler

who sold it to ya
and make him eat every carat

don't fuck with dad
