cry a little

cry a little laugh more

if you got a problem ask god

he can help you take the pain away

all those problems fade away

cry a little laugh more

if you got a problem ask god

he can help you take the pain away

all those problems fade away

god please take this pain away

i hope my father in a better place

i hope he and my brother up there playing spades

talking 'bout how they're proud of me

jackpot no lottery

look what you made

no pottery

you motored up a true king

bottled up this pain

gave me mood swings

your little baby boy got some new wings

that's why i never mind to tie my shoe strings

just to keep from crying blow this blue dream

they say i'm my father's son

got his routine

cry a little laugh more

if you got a problem ask god

he can help you take the pain away

all those problems fade away

cry a little laugh more

if you got a problem ask god

he can help you take the pain away

all those problems fade away

three kids they all look like me

that means they look like you

all tempermental

yeah they got that too

i see though every time they smile they lift me up

every time i'm down

i hate when i'm not around

don't wanna let 'em down like you did yours

wanna be a father

best friend

a mentor

wanna be a guider

provider

an anchor

hold 'em down

i hold 'em back

what i aim for

not wait til i'm dead to be their angel

this is love

don't mistake it as being hateful

cry a little laugh more

if you got a problem ask god

he can help you take the pain away

all those problems fade away

cry a little laugh more

if you got a problem ask god

he can help you take the pain away

all those problems fade away
