I'm just a little girl, crying by my bedroom door.
Why does daddy yell and scream, why is mommy sad once more.
It wasn't long before we left, in a car that grandpa bought
Time and miles should change his heart, he'll search for us I thought.
Chorus
Oh my prayers won't hit the ceiling, cause my knees are on the floor.
Give us back our daddy's love, tell me God just once more.
Why do bad things happen to little girls, when they only want to smile.
Did I do something wrong Lord, to make him leave for awhile.
The phone doesn't ring and letters they never come.
Has he forgotten us God, does he know momma had his son.
Momma cries herself to sleep, still longing for his call.
Prayinthat he'll change his mind and to his knees he will fall.
Chorus
Bridge
When earthly daddy's go away, and you're left so afraid.
Jesus tells us he loves us, sings us to sleep.
Even in the darkest night, he is your brightest light.
When bad things happen to little girls, know that Jesus holds them close.
You did nothing wrong, come to me my child.
