Little Girl

When you raised your head I saw a smile
I grinned and cheered inside
What was left unsaid to reconcile
Was carried off in that lost car ride
Who’s benefitin' from this?
You can’t find the tracks
«Life's kiss,"take it back
Little girl don’t you try to fool yourself
That’s never been your style
But won’t you tell her? Testify!
Cause all these years you’ve always been worthwhile
Little girl
When you thirst for life so hard you drown
I poured you more and we dropped the ball
Who’s benefitin' from this?
You can’t find the tracks
«Life's kiss,"take it back
Greet the brand new day with hope and praise
Comfort in change and trust the same
From the morning rain the color stays
Pain washed away along with blame
Little girl don’t you try to fool yourself
That’s never been your style
But won’t you tell her? Testify!
Cause all these years you’ve always been worthwhile
Little girl
Little girl, the sun’s come up
You’ve always been the one early to rise
I’d never tell you «hurry up»
Cause all these years you’ve always been worthwhile
Little girl
