She sits alone by a lamppost
Trying to find a thought
That`s escaped her mind

She says dad`s the one
I love the most
But Stipe`s not far behind
She never let`s me in

Only tells me where she`s been
When she`s had too much to drink
I say that I don`t care
I just run my hands through

Her dark hair
And I pray to God you gotta
Help me fly away and just
Let her cry

If the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing
If it eases all her pain
Just let her go

Let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be let her be
This morning I woke up alone

Found a note standing by the phone
Saying baby maybe I`ll be
Back someday
I wanted to look for you

You walked in I didn`t know
Just what I should do
So I sat back down and had a beer
And felt sorry for myself

Saying
Let her cry
If the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing

If it eases all her pain
Let her go
Let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow

Let her be oh
Last night I tried to leave
Cried so much I could not believe
She was the same girl I fell

In love with long ago
She went in the back to get high
I sat down on my couch
And cried

Yelling oh mama please help me
Won`t you hold my hand and just
Let her cry
If the tears fall down like rain

Let her sing
If it eases all her pain
Let her go
Let her walk right out on me

And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be just
Let her cry
If the tears fall down like rain

Let her sing
If it eases all her pain
Let her go
Let her walk right out on me

And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be oh let her be
