With her little rag doll, clutched in her arm
She was crossing the street, realizing no harm
And I was the driver, sad but it's true
Who killed that little girl, it could happen to you
With a scream and a crash, in the street there she lay
That scene will haunt me
Till my dying day
I can hear it each day
And all through the night
That little girl pleading
Mother hold me tight
No charges were placed against me
Unavoidable, the report read
I did my best to stop
But the little girl, she's dead
God knows I'd gladly take her place
If I only could
But that's just wishful thinking
And really does no good
No one will ever know
My prayer I can't repeat
As I knelt beside that little girl
As she died there in the street
My life has been so darkened
At night I cannot sleep
For I dream about the little girl
I killed there in the street
With a scream and a crash
In the street there she lay
That scene will haunt me
Till my dying day
I can hear it each day
Each day and all through the night
That little girl pleading
Mother hold me tight
