Don’t Make Her Cry

[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
