Got the news today, daddy’s very sick
Not much time to cry
Brother said, get here very quick
How can we gather a family of seven?
We live so far apart
Brother said come here now before he goes to heaven
Daddy don’t go, another’s on the way
Three of us are here to hold your hand
We each have so much to say
Doctors came in with flushing cheeks
The time we thought we had, they say; we’re sorry
It’s no longer months, but has turned into weeks
How can we rush these floods of memories?
Brother, what are we going to do?
Call the others to come; dad wants to hear more stories
Daddy don’t go, another’s on the way
Four of us are here to hold your hand
Let’s just talk about our day
Hold on tight; we’ve gone from days to hours
How can this time have passed so quickly?
There’s more to come, let’s fill his room with flowers
Daddy don’t go another’s on the way
Five of us are here to hold your hand
We can speak of come what may
Do you know the impact you have made on our lives?
We’ve shared our thanks and forgiveness
There will be more laughs, tears, and love
Two more to share . . . to add to our five
Daddy don’t go the other’s are on their way
Plane just landed with six and seven
We’re all here now to hold your hand
You’re not alone; we’re with you now as you go to heaven
Â
Daddy you can go now, you’ve endured a lot of pain
To bring us all together and hold your hand
Oh brother, how do we stop the rain?
