Don't You Cry

from Irish Eyes EP by The Collective

/

about

This song was written for my little girl Iliana.

lyrics

You're five years old and you're full of life,
And I love to see you play,
You got your mommy's eyes and your daddy's pride,
And you show it every day,

And I hate to see you fall down,
Cos your smile goes away,
But I'm always there to pick you up,
And kiss your tears away,

So don't you cry my baby girl,
I'll never leave your side,
It's just a scrape on the knee today,
But I'm always on your side,

The days have gone and you're sixteen now,
And you're oh so very smart,
But the boy you love didn't feel that way,
And he broke your precious heart,

And I hate to see you down and out,
Cos your smile goes away,
But just you wait cos your daddy's sure,
The right one is on his way,

So don't you cry my baby girl,
I'll never leave your side,
There's such a pain in your heart today,
But I'm always on your side,

I said, Don't you cry my baby girl,
I'll never leave your side,
There's such a pain in your heart today,
But I'm always on your side,

You're all grown up with your white dress on,
And I'm giving you away,
And I do my best to hold it back,
Remembering the days,

You skinned your knee and I picked you up,
And I kissed your tears away,
And I held you close when your little heart broke,
And I hugged the pain away,

And now I walk you down the isle,
And tears roll down your face,
But before I say her mother and I,
I lean to you and say...

I say, Don't you cry my baby girl,
I'll never leave your side,
Cos even though you're going away,
I'm always on your side,

I said don't you cry my baby girl,
I'll never leave your side,
Cos even though you're going away,
I'm always on your side.
