Don’t Make Her Cry

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Buddy Miller] He stood like a soldier, concern in his eyes He nodded his head, it was full of surprise He stood there a while and said, "Are you sure? Is your love for him really that pure?" [Pre-Chorus: Buddy Miller] Ever since she was born, she was my little girl And I'll always watch over her, even from another world She's a seventh child, a seventh child, boy, do you know that? With God's thumbprints on her, wherever she's at [Chorus: Buddy & Julie Miller] Don't make her cry Don't make hеr cry [Verse 2: Buddy Miller] When your mind's bouncin' 'round like a pinball arcade Just keep standin' now and don't bе afraid What's done in the dark comes to the light So stay out of the shadows and do what's right [Pre-Chorus: Buddy Miller] Sometime your critics think they're so justified But they don't know a thing about who you are inside Stand strong always and remember who you are Stand strong and always follow that star [Chorus: Buddy & Julie Miller] Don't make her cry Don't make her cry [Bridge: Buddy Miller, Buddy and Julie Miller] Yet when I heard your father talk It sounded like somebody else on the block And when he shook my hand it truly felt Like the power of love that makes your heart melt [Verse 3: Buddy Miller] I'll never forget that night, that time, that place He looked me straight in the eyes with amazing grace And he said with compassion all over his face He said to me, "Don't make her cry" [Chorus: Buddy & Julie Miller] Don't make her cry Don't make her cry Don't make her cry Don't make her cry
