REBA MCENTIRE - I Heard Her Cryin' lyrics

rate me

(Karen Staley)

The whole night in the kitchen

Saying words we'll both regret

And you scream you we're leaving

And you cursed the day we met

The sound goes above the slamming door

And broken dishes thrown around the floor

So loud it made us stop

It was the sound of a teardrop

Chorus:

When I heard her crying

Thought she was tucked away in bed

I heard her crying

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 crying

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

I looked at you and you looked at me

And we felt each other's shame

Kneeling down to hold our child

Said she was not to blame

Now sometimes when we're angry

And say things that aren't true

We still love each other

And baby we love you

Repeat Chorus
