A Child's Cry Lyrics

hey little girl dry your eyes your dad he’s on his way don’t hang your dress away hey little boy you’ve cracked your blinds to watch him pull away and he doesn’t see you cry their hearts are soft and gentle and yet you push them away why can’t you open your eyes and see that they’re dying inside where are you going where have you been i’ve waited all night for you again beautiful baby dry your eyes drowning in your lies deceived by your eyes i’m holding onto nothing like water in my hands as it slips away where are you going where have you been i’ve waited all night for you again hoping you’ll someday you’ll realize that i’m drowning in your lies

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this is the greatest student rick song especially the last minute. the lyrics are oustanding and make me speechless. Im pretty sure the song is about having your father leave you and you must live life all on your own but you have hope that he will come back someday.

I love this song. I cry to it. I feel for the little girl and the little boy and when he (sorry, I don't know their names..only their music..) says "beautiful baby" I want to find him and have his babies. Sorry, it's just something about the way he says beautiful and it's like the 'climax' of the song or whatever..Okay, I'll shush now.
