Select language to translate this lyric
With her little rag doll clutched in her arms
She was crossing the street realizing no harm
And I was the driver, It's sad but it's true
Who killed that little girl, It could happen to you
With a scream and a crash in the street there she lay
That scene will haunt me 'til my dying day
I can hear it each day and all thru the night
That little girl pleading Mother
Hold
Me
Tight
No charges were placed against me
unavoidable the report read
I did my best to stop
but the little girl she's dead
God knows I'd gladly take her place if I only could
But that's just wishful thinking and really does no good
No one will ever know, My prayer I can't repeat
As I knelt beside that little girl
as she died there in the street
My life has been so darkened, At night I cannot sleep
For I dream about the little girl
I killed there in the street
With a scream and a crash in the street there she lay
That scene will haunt me 'til my dying day
I can hear it each day and all thru the night
That little girl pleading Mother
Hold
Me
Tight
