Mockingbird (aus ”the Voice Kids, Staffel 11") [Live] Emma & The Voice Kids - Germany

[Intro]
You got me

[Verse 1]
Hailie, I know you miss your Mom, and I know you miss your Dad
When I'm gone, but I'm tryin' to give you the life that I never had
I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you wanna cry
'Cause you're scared, I ain't there, Daddy's wit' you in your prayers
No more cryin', wipe them tears, Daddy's here, no more nightmares
We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it
Lainie, Uncle's crazy, ain't he? Yeah, but hе loves you, girl, and you better know

[Chorus]
Hush, littlе baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night

[Verse 2]
It's funny
That's when Daddy went to California with his CD
And met Dr. Dre, and flew you and Mama out to see me
Daddy had to work, you and Mama had to leave me
Then you started seein' Daddy on the TV
Mama didn't like it
And you and Lainie were too young to understand it
Papa was a rolling stone, Mama developed a habit
And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
I'm just sorry you were there, had to witness it firsthand
'Cause all I ever wanted to do is make you proud
Now I'm sittin' in this empty house just reminiscin'
Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out
To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now
Wow, guess you pretty much are, Daddy's still here
Lainie, I'm talkin' to you too, Daddy's still here
I like the sound of that shit, it's got a ring to it, don't it?
Shh! Mama's only gone for the moment
