Cassy, your Daddy?s here so you dream on
How I could hold you near to feel the beat of my heart
You would wake to a strangers face
When you open your eyes Ill be right here by your side

Cassy, your Mommy died a few hours ago
How she so bravely fought to see one more dawn
Days of labor and nights so alone all took their toll
When dawn breaks Ill be right here by your side

How could I have known all those years on the road
For so long I was gone and did not hear her cry
Oh Cassie you?re the world to me.

Cassy, a world away I?m called on to fight, but nothing on this earth keeps me from you tonight.
Morning comes and my tears are dried, ?cause you?ll be right here by my side.

Cassy, I held you once when you were born
Since then I never saw the little girl clothes that you wore
Safe and warm through the gathering storm
Open your eyes I?ll be right here by your side.

Cassy, just you and I will face this life alone
Here I will stay till you are grown. Oh Cassy.
You?re the world to me. Cassy, your Daddy?s here, and when you rise, as sure as the sun will shine I?ll be right here by your side.
