Don’t Make Her Cry

He stood like a soldier
Concern in his eyes
He nodded his head
It was full of surprise
He stood there a while
And said are you sure
Is your love for him
Really that pure

Ever since she was born
She was my little girl
And I'll always watch over her
Even from another world

She's a seventh child
A seventh child
Boy do you know that
God's thumbprint's on her
Wherever she's at

Don't make her cry
Don't make her cry

When your mind's bouncing round
Like a pinball arcade
Just keep standing now
And don't be afraid
What's done in the dark
Comes to the light
So stay out of the shadows
And do what's right
Sometimes your critics think
They're so justified

But they don't know a thing about
Who you are inside

Stand strong always
And remember who you are
Stand strong and always
Follow that star

Don't make her cry
Don't make her cry

Yet when I heard your father talk
It sounded like somebody else on the block
When he shook my hand
It truly felt
Like the power of love
That makes your heart melt

I'll never forget that night
That time, that place
He looked me straight in the eyes
With amazing grace
And he said with compassion
All over his face

Said to me

Don't make her cry
Don't make her cry
Don't make her cry
Don't make her cry
Don't make her cry
