It was a quiet drizzle
The night she saw him again
They took a little walk
Around the lawyer’s office
The more they talked
The more she wished he would stay
Their walk was almost quiet; she didn’t mind
She only wished to be with him
He asked of her life
Tried to make amends
She answered and continued to talk with him
Once they walked back around to the front
His words cut through her
He told her he loved her
She’d always have him
She was his little girl
Though the divorce was final
Everyday she waited for a call
Everyday she stood up tall
Everyday she told them all
“My father will come back,
He promised he’d be back,
Just for me.”
Her mother watch her
Over time and became angry
Her stubbornness was hard to bear
When she knew what was going on
She knew her child was wrong
Everyday she waited for a call
Everyday she stood up tall
Everyday she told them all
“My father will come back,
He promised he’d be back,
Just for me.”
One day her mother spoke up
She told her daughter off
She didn’t want to see her in pain
But she didn’t know it would make things worse
What could she do?
When her girl wouldn’t trust her
Everyday she waited for a call
Everyday she stood up tall
Everyday she told them all
“My father will come back,
He promised he’d be back,
Just for me.”
How could she know?
She was so naive
A year passed and no word
Came to her from him
But she still believes
What no one else believes
Her father will come back
Everyday she waits for a call
Everyday she stands up tall
Everyday she tells them all
“My father will come back,
He promised he’d be back,
Just for me. You’ll See,
Just for me”
