It's was an awkward situation and everyone agreed
|
People left her standing in her greatest hour of need
|
It was a turning point in history but the change was yet to come
|
|
She had a baby out of wedlock when she was just a teen
|
And there was no disguising the place that she had been
|
And to avoid their frowning faces she gave her child away
|
|
And there's a sweet little girl with no-one there to hold her
|
A sweet little girl no-one to hold her tight
|
And she can't hide her need for love
|
Though she may try to cover it up
|
Just a sweet little girl
|
|
Well a couple from the east side who couldn't have their own
|
Completed al the papers and they took the baby home
|
And she filled their life with laughter and took the failure from their eyes
|
|
And she grew up in the valley in the shadow of their love
|
And on her fifteenth birthday they told her what they'd done
|
Well she cried and called them family but wondered where life began
|
|
Well the man she chose to marry climbed the wall around her heart
|
And he whispered to her softly Oh my love we'll never part
|
Sometimes loving words are painful when they let the light shine in the dark
|
|
And she walked the road to healing hands trembling n the phone
|
Mother why'd you leave me and didn't take me home?
|
And do you know my Daddy? Sorry mama I know that this is hard
|
|
Well she gave birth to a baby her Mother's by her side
|
And Father's in the waiting well they heard the baby cry
|
See the healing of a family through the sacred gift of life
|
|
And there's a sweet little girl with someone there to hold her
|
A sweet little girl sopmeone to hold her tight
|
And she can't hide her need for love
|
She may try to cover it up
|
Just a sweet little girl
|
