She never lets me in
Only tells me where she's been
When she's had too much to drink
Then I say that I don't care now
Run my fingers through her long hair
Then I pray to God, "You gotta help me fly away"

This mornin' I woke up alone
Found a note standin' by the phone
Sayin', "Baby, 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, felt sorry for myself

Said, let her cry
If the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing
If it eases all her pain
And 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
Sit back down on my couch and cried, yelling
"Oh mama, won't you come amd help me
Won't you come and hold my hand?"

Let her cry
If the 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 the tears fall down like rain
And 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
