Papa, hope you don't feel know pain today And the medicine you swallow in Takes all them fears away Papa, hope light fills up the room And all the darkness hovering May lift again, and soon [Chorus:] But if you've gotta be dreaming For angels to come singing For your heart to be open To hearing what they say If you've gotta be dreaming For your memories to quit screaming For your mind to get quiet Then sleep away Papa, hope you don't feel alone And if you tire of the solitude You might pick up the phone Papa, no, we're on the other end Nothing here that's too far gone Nothing that we can't mend [Chorus]
