Daddy Dear

Daddy dear, tell me please, is it true what they say?
In the heavens there's a cup that gets fuller each day
And I heard that Hashem keeps it close near by
And he fills it with tears each time that we cry
Zaidy told me, daddy dear, did he tell you the same?
That when sorrow strikes his people, Hashem feels all the pain?
Tell me why does he cry far away in the sky?
Tell me why, daddy dear, are there tears in your eyes?

Little one, little one, it is true? Yes, it's true
Zaidy told me years ago and his dad told him too
Fathers cry for the children and Hashem does the same
And we had so, yes, he feels our pain
Tears of pity from his eyes in his cup sadly flow
One day when it's full all our troubles will go
We will dance, we will fly, in the sky like a bird
And I cry, little son, 'cause I'm touched by your words

One more question daddy dear answer please if you will
Just how deep is this cup tell me when will it fill? Don't you think it is time
That the sun forever shines, don't you think it is time dear daddy of mine?

Little one it is time I question that too
So let us ask him together, together me and you
Father dear, do you hear our prayers, our fear?
Will you your eyes ever dry, is your cup fill with tears?
