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
