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've heard that Hashem
Keeps it close nearby
And He fills it with his 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 their children
And Hashem does the same
When we hurt, so does He
Yes, He feels all our pain
Tears of pity from his eyes
In this cup, sadly flow
Till one day when it's full
All our troubles will go
We will dance we will fly
In the sky like the birds
And I cry little one
Because 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 shine
Don't you think it is time
Dear daddy of mine
Little one, it is time
And I've questioned that too
So let us ask him together
Together, me and you
Father dear, do You hear
Our worries, our fears
Will Your eyes ever dry
Is Your cup filled with tears
