Cold night in the kitchen
Sayin' things we both regret
And you scream
you were leavin'
And you cursed
the day we met
Then the sound
of a slammin' door
Broken dishes thrown
around the floor
So loud it made her stop
It was the sound of a teardrop
When I heard her cryin'
Thought she was tucked
away in bed
I heard her cryin'
Wish we could take back
what we said
I didn't think she was old
enough to know
Oh Lord we must
have hurt her so
When she begged you
not to go
I heard her cryin'
I'd have given anythin'
for time to erase
When I turned
around and saw
those little tears
roll down her face
Oh my heart nearly
broke in two
And she said
mommy what did I do
to make you and daddy mad
Oh I'm sorry I was bad
I looked at you
and you looked at me
And we felt each
other's shame
Then kneelin' down
to hold our child
Said she was not to blame
Now sometimes
when we're angry
we say things that aren't true
We still love each other
and baby we love you
When I heard her cryin'
Thought she was tucked
away in bed
I heard her cryin'
Wish we could take back
what we said
I didn't think she was old
enough to know
Oh Lord we must
have hurt her so
When she begged you
not to go
I heard her cryin'
