She sits alone by a lamppost
trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind
She says Dad's the one I love the most
his time's not far behind
She never lets me in
only tells me where's she's been
when she's had too much to drink
I say that I don't care I just run my hands
through her dark hair then I pray to God
you gotta help me fly away
And just
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, let her be
This morning I woke up alone
found a note standing by the phone
saying baby, maybe I'll be back some day
I wanted to look for you
You walked in I didn't know just what I should do
so I sat back down and 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, ahhhh

Last night I tried to leave
cried so much
I could not believe
she was the same girl
I fell in love with long ago
She went in the back to
get high I sat down on my couch
and cried yelling oh mama please
help me won't you hold my hand
And
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
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 beohhhlet her be
