She never lets me in
Only tells me where she's been
When she's had too much to drink
And I say that I don't care
And then I run my fingers through her long hair
And then I pray to God, you gotta help me fly away
This morning I woke up alone
Found a note standing by the phone
Saying, "Maybe 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 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
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
I sat back down on my couch and cried
Yelling, "Oh mama, won't you come and help me?
Won't you come and hold my hand?"
And let her cry
If her 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 her tears fall down like rain
Let her sing (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
