Pretty Little Girl Songtext
This song's about a little girl
I knew when I was young
It could be about any child
Whose life became undone
It's easy to forget
That children cannot understand
They've never played the game of love
Felt its consequence firsthand

This little girl thought every meal
Would be a table set for three
That every evening she find
A place on daddy's knee
Nobody thought to tell her
Sometimes things just don't work out
That she wasn't the reason
Their life turned inside out

Chorus:
Pretty little girl
Let me dry your tears
Pretty little girl
This is not yours to undo
Pretty little girl
Let me calm your fears
Your mamma and your daddy still love you

Her daddy didn't say goodbye
He didn't turn to say
He wasn't comin' back
Or that he'd miss her every day
She looked across to mamma
Who was standin' mighty still
Her quiet tears still falling
Pooling on the windowsill

Chorus

There's too many tears
In children's young years
For things they can't undo
They give love to you
No matter what you do
Let them know you love them too

Tell me it's not temporary
This game that has no rules
That love is not imaginary
Passion does not breed fools
Daddy why did you leave us
Momma do you know I'm here
Please God bring that moment
For our love to reappear

Chorus

They still love you, love you
They still love you
Your momma and your daddy still love (x3)
