LET HER STAY

~~~*Chorus*~~~

My heart is surely breaking

Please don’t take her away

She’s everything I live for

I beg you…let her stay

~~*~~

I know that you’re her Mother
A piece of paper says it’s true
I would stand before God today
And vow I love her more than you

I have always put her first
Above everyone I love
That is something that I know
You cannot profess of

I’m not trying to hurt you
I’m only thinking of her
Put aside yourself please
And tell me you concur

She doesn't want to go
She was crying last night…
 “Please can I just stay here”?
As tears fell from her eyes

~~~*Chorus*~~~
My heart is surely breaking
Please don’t take her away
She’s everything I live for
I beg you…let her stay
~~*~~

Sometimes we have to give
Selfish can’t break through
Stop and ask yourself
Is this for her or you

This place is what she knows
This family is hers
I’m not painting a picture
Or spouting pretty words

I am handing you the truth
You do not want to see
Please just think of her
Pretend there’s no you or me

~~~*Final Chorus*~~~
Her heart is surely breaking
Please don’t take her away
Make her what you live for
And please…let her stay
~~*~~
