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
