The Little Girl

 

Sad little girl come cry on my shoulder

Everything's gonna be alright

Snuggled up in bed as the night gets colder

Just try and get some sleep tonight.

 

I've tried to help her, I really have

She's so fragile inside

Just a little girl who needs a shoulder to cry on

Scared of the world outside.

 

Oh, but she'll be okay. She will rise above this.

Eventually she'll stand tall. Oh, you best believe.

That one day the little girl will be happy.

 

Tears fall down her freckled cheeks.

It's the saddest sight to see.

Her lower lip quivers, so I hold her tight

And I pull her closer to me.

 

You should be there for her, you really should

'Cause she's so fragile inside

Just a little girl who needs your shoulder to cry on

Scared of the world outside.

 

Oh, but she'll be okay. She will rise above this.

Eventually she'll stand tall. Oh, you best believe.

That one day the little girl will be happy.

 

And she cries waterfalls to drown out the world

That scary world, that cruel world.

Hazel eyes crying waterfalls to drown out the memories

Poor little girl, poor little broken girl.

 

So I tell her...

Oh, but you'll be okay. You will rise above this.

Eventually you'll stand tall. Oh, you best believe.

That one day little girl you will be happy.

Because you deserve to be happy.

 

Hush now, little girl the sun is rising.

The darkness is gone for the day.

So she stands up and opens the door...

With the faith that she'll one day be happy.

such fantastic words. i would love to have heard it as you envisioned it. the "And she cries waterfalls to drown out the world" stanza was what really shook me. awesome job!

This sounds like a song my dad used to sing to me when I was little. therefor it made me cry. And let me tell ya, takes a lot to make me cry (mainly cause I have a glitch in my tear ducts)
Good job!
