Listen To Her Cry

How can you not understand? How much I need you in my life. If only you could be my friend And listen to me when I cry. A girl needs her father’s love To be willingly; not forced. When she trembles inside out She really needs to hear your voice. Not only setting certain rules. Or telling her what not to do But also in a quiet time. Just telling her she’s really fine. Don’t talk to her about mistakes. She won’t forget them anyway. Just tell her it’ll be okay And listen to her when she cries. She really needs her dad tonight To be at home; to hold her tight.
