Lyrics
YOU NEVER NEED TO BE AFRAID OF ME AGAIN Brian L. Foley
He grabbed two handfuls of dust in his field of dying corn
Then daddy raised his fists to heaven and he cursed the mighty Lord
His voice boomed out like thunder crashing through my small boy?s heart
And the very ground I stood on seemed to shake and break apart
Well he turned and saw me trembling, and I never will forget
He took my face in his great hands, now tender once again
His eyes got wet as mine and something hard inside him broke
And in the gentle voice I knew so well, he softly spoke - and he said...
OH - OH MY DARLIN? ONE
I?D GIVE THE WORLD TO UNDO WHAT I JUST DONE
BUT I PROMISE TO THE SAME GOD I WAS TALKING WITH JUST THEN
I?LL BE A FATHER YOU CAN TURN TO - AND NO MATTER WHAT OR WHEN
YOU NEVER NEED TO BE AFRAID OF ME AGAIN
Dad kept his word through all the long hard years ?til the day he died
When the world slipped off his shoulders and fell so hard on mine
I don?t remember just what made me swear so loud one day
But I?ll never forget the fear I saw on my little daughter?s face
And I said - OH - OH MY DARLIN ONE...
As I sat in church next Sunday, my daughter?s hand in mine
A stillness came upon me and peace overcame my mind
All my life God always seemed so big and far away
But right here in my heart I swear I heard him say that day
I heard - OH - OH MY DARLIN ONES
I LOVE YOU SO I GAVE THE WORLD MY SON
AND HIS PROMISE IS THE SAME THIS MOMENT AS IT WAS BACK THEN
I?M A FATHER YOU CAN TURN TO - AND NO MATTER WHAT OR WHEN
YOU NEVER NEED TO BE AFRAID OF ME AGAIN
YOU NEVER NEED TO BE AFRAID OF ME AGAIN
