In a Child's Eyes

He said good-bye before she was born
Her mother was left to raise her alone
She met someone new, and her stomach grew
But when she was born, he left too
He wasn’t gone for her sister, who lived between the two
But he was gone for her and that’s all she knew

Chorus
In a child’s eyes you were there and you’re gone
You left and she was forced to move on
Because of you her life will never be the same
You taught her not to trust but only to blame
Herself for a life she could never change
Like water drops falling in the rain

Another man came when she was still very small,
She called him Dad even before she could crawl.
He stayed that man for quite some time
Long enough for his son, her brother, to turn nine
She loved him as her Dad like a daughter should
And when he left she was crying where she stood

Chorus

He told her he wasn’t her father or she his daughter
He said she was no longer family
He broke his promise that they would always be together
And left her at twelve broken forever

Chorus

Oh, like water drops falling in the rain.
