The cold night in the kitchen saying things we'll both regret

And you scream you were leaving and you cursed the day we'd met

Then 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

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

[ piano ]

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

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 we say things that aren't true

We still love each other and baby we love you

And I heard her crying...
