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 promised 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 Think you forgot
to kiss, kiss her goodbye
Will she see me cry when I stumble and fall?
Does she hear my voice in the night when I
cry?
I can't 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
promised to try,
but it feels like a lie
Don't let memory playing games look your way
She's a faded smile,
frozen in time I'm still hanging on,
but doing it wrong
Can't kiss her goodbye,
but I promised to try
