A cold night in the kitchen

Sayin things we both regret

And you screamed you were leavin

And you cursed the day we met

Then a sound rose above the slammin door

And broken dishes thrown around the floor

So loud it made us stop

It was the sound of a tear drop



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



Well I'd have given anything

For time to erase

When I turned around and saw

Those little tears roll down her face

Oh my heart nearly broke in two

When she said mommy what did I do

To make you and daddy mad

Oh I'm sorry I was bad



Well I looked at you

And you looked at me

And we felt eachother's shame

Then kneeling down to hold our child

Since she was not to blame

Sometimes when we're angry

We say things that aren't true

But we still love eachother

And baby we love you



And I heard her cryin'...
