there will be tears

[Chorus: Mr Hudson]

There will be tears, I've no doubt

There may be smiles but a few

And when the tears have run out

We'll be numb and blue, blue

[Refrain: Mr. Hudson & Frank Ocean]

I can't be there with you, but I can dream

I can't be there with you, but I can dream

I can't be there with you, but I can dream

I can't be there with you, but I can dream

I can't be there with you, but I can dream

I can't be there with you, but I can dream

I still dream, dream, dream

I still dream, dream (There will be)

[Verse: Frank Ocean]

My grandaddy was a player

Pretty boy in a pair of gators

See, I met him later on

Think it was 1991

The only dad I'd ever know

But pretty soon, he'd be gone too

Hide my face, hide my face

Can't let 'em see me crying

'Cause these boys didn't have no fathers neither

And they weren't crying

My friend said it wasn't so bad

You can't miss what you ain't had

Well, I can

I'm sad and

[Chorus: Frank Ocean]

There will be tears, I have no doubt

There may be smiles but a few

And when those tears have run out

You will be numb and blue

[Outro: Frank Ocean]

"I can't be there"

That's all you had to say to me was you couldn't be there

Why couldn't you say to me you won't be there?

You coulda warned me you wouldn't be here

Right here, you wouldn't be here for me

No, no, no, no

No, no, no, no

No, no, no

No, no, no, no

No, no, no

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh
