Little girl you're still far too young 

To have a heart that's been so broken 

It might seem like you ain't got no one 

Well I'm here for you 



Told your mamma before she died 

That I'd stay right by your side 

I had to leave for just a little while 

But now I'm here for you 



Hardest part there is about dying 

Are the ones who get left behind 

I know your mamma wouldn't want you crying 

So I'm here for you 



I loved your mamma more than she loved me 

When you were born I was far from Tennessee 

I came back home to hold you close to me 

Now I'm here for you 



You're far too precious to lose 

I only want what's best for you 

And that might not include me 

Well I know it's true 

I'm here for you
