Little girl

don't you forget her face

laughing away your tears

when she was the one who felt all the pain



Little girl

never forget her eyes

keep them alive inside

I promise to try

but it's not the same



Keep your head held high

ride like the wind

never look behind

life isn't fair

that's what you said

so I try not to care



Little girl

don't run away so fast

I think you forget to kiss

kiss her good-bye



Will she see me cry when I stumble and fall

does she hear my voice in the night when I call

wipe away all your tears it's gonna be alright



I fought to be so strong

I guess you knew I was afraid you'd go away too



Little girl

you've got to forget the past

and learn to forgive me

I promise to try

but it feels like a lie



Don't let memory play games with your mind

she's a faded smile frozen in time

I'm still hanging on

but I'm doing it wrong



Can't kiss her good-bye

but I promise to try
