Let Her Cry

She never lets me in

Only tells me where she's been

When she's had too much to drink

And I say that I don't care

And then I run my fingers through her long hair

And then I pray to God, you gotta help me fly away

This morning I woke up alone

Found a note standing by the phone

Saying, "Maybe I'll be back someday"

I wanted to look for you

You walked in, I didn't know what I should do

I sat back down, had a beer and felt sorry for myself

Saying, let her cry

If the tears fall down like rain

Let her sing

If it eases all her pain

Let her go

Let her walk right out on me

And if the sun comes up tomorrow

Let her be

Last night I tried to leave

I cried so much I could not believe

She was the same girl I fell in love with long ago

After she said goodbye

I sat back down on my couch and cried

Yelling, "Oh mama, won't you come and help me?

Won't you come and hold my hand?"

And let her cry

If her tears fall down like rain

Let her sing

If it eases all her pain

Let her go

If she walks right out on me

And if the sun comes up tomorrow

Let her be

Oh, let her cry

If her tears fall down like rain

Let her sing (let her sing)

If it eases all her pain

Let her go

Even if she walks right out on me

And if the sun comes up tomorrow

Let her be

Just let her be
