The younger kids are sleeping   Mama's working nights   You are heavy on my mind   So I just thought I'd write      Money's hard to come by   Outside of that we're fine   Little brother talks about you   Almost all the time      Every night I say a little prayer   That he'll keep watching over you   I know you think that no one cares   But daddy, I love you      I've never once heard mama say   Who was right or wrong   I just came home from school one day   And she told me you were gone      You may not want to come back home   And if you never do   Daddy, it won't change the way I feel   I'll always love you      Every night I say a little prayer   That he'll keep watching over you   I know you think that no one cares   But daddy, I love you      Every night I say a little prayer   That he'll keep watching over you   I know you think that no one cares   But daddy, I love you
