This song is slow sentimental and countryish and quite difficult to sing because it covers a wide span of notes,and while I,m sitting here tapping away I dont have to face the reality of what comes out of the speakers versus how I hear it in my head!
Daddy cant stop the rain
It was the darkest night I,v ever seen as I went upstairs to bed
The clouds were painting pictures just like the devils head
The rain beat on the windows and the wind howled at the door
As I was walking past my Billy,s room he was praying to the Lord
Chorus
He said lord I wanna thank you for the stars up in the sky
for the sunrise in the morning
and the moon on the lake at night
But I,d trade all this tomorrow to have mama back here again
Cos daddy can do lots of things but he cant stop the rain
Yes daddy can do lots of things but he cant stop this rain
Now the tears ran down my face at this
Like the pouring rain outside
As I walked into my Billy,s room the pain I could'nt hide
I said son well maybe someday
We'll be together again
And he put his little hand in mine
And asked daddy please tell me when
Chorus
And said
Lord I wanna thank you for the stars up in the sky
For the sunrise in the morning
And the moon on the lake at night
But I,d trade all this tomorrow
to have mama back here again
Cos daddy can do lots of things but he cant stop this rain
Yes daddy can do lots of things but he cant stop this rain
End
