Little girl, don't you forget her face
Laughing away your tears
When she was the one, who felt all the pain
Little girl, never forget her eyes
Keep them alive inside
I promise to try, but it's not the same
Chorus:
Keep your head held high, ride like the wind
Never look behind, life isn't fair
That's what you said, so I try not to care
Little girl, don't run away so fast
I think you forgot to kiss, kiss her goodbye
Chorus:
Will she see me cry when I stumble and fall?
Does she hear my voice in the night when I call?
Wipe away all your tears, it's gonna be all right
I fought to be so strong, I guess you knew
I was afraid, you'd go away, too
Little girl, you've got to forget the past
And learn to forgive me
I promise to try
But it feels like a lie
Chorus:
Don't let memory play games with your mind
She's a faded smile frozen in time
I'm still hanging on
But I'm doing it wrong
Can't kiss her goodbye
But I promise to try
