I Heard Her Cryin

Intro: A cold night in the kitchen Saying things we both regret And you scream, you were leaving And you cursed the day we met Then a sound rose above the slamming door ~ And broken dishes thrown around the floor So loud it made us stop It was the sound of a teardrop___ N.C. 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 N.C. 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" N.C. Well, I looked at you and you looked at me And we felt each other's shame Then 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 But we still love each other And baby, we love you" N.C. And I heard her crying Thought she was tucked away in bed Oh, 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
