Lyrics

Woke up early morning with teardrops in my eyes,
Remembering my daddy on the day he died.
The sun was barely rising, but heaven felt so near,
Every word he spoke that day still ringing in my ears.
Verse 2
He said, children gather round me, I want you by my side,
I want you here when Jesus comes and takes me for that final ride.
His voice was calm and steady, though his strength was running thin,
He looked past all the pain and saw where life begins again.
Chorus
He said don’t you cry over good things,
There will be no sadness over there.
No more hurt, no more heartache,
Just mercy, love, and answered prayers.
Hold on tight to what I taught you,
Walk by faith and not by fear,
Don’t you cry over good things—
I’ll be waiting when you get there.
Verse 3
The room was filled with silence, but peace was settling in,
Like angels standing watch, preparing him to win.
He smiled through the goodbye, though my heart began to break,
Knowing heaven gained a soul, but I lost a piece that day.
Chorus
He said don’t you cry over good things,
There will be no sadness over there.
No more tears, no more dying,
Just a home beyond compare.
Keep on loving one another,
Let forgiveness lead you through,
Don’t you cry over good things—
I’ll be watching over you.
Bridge
One sweet day I’ll hear that call,
When my race on earth is through,
And I’ll see him standing smiling
In that light so pure and true.
Outro
So I won’t cry over good things,
Though I miss him every day,
‘Cause I know he’s riding glory
On that bright and narrow way.
Until Jesus comes to get me,
I’ll live the words he said,
I won’t cry over good things—
I’ll rejoice instead.
