(Verse 1)
I came home late, after another long day,
Couldn’t wait to hold her in my arms and say,
“I’m sorry, darlin’, I’ll make it right,”
But the only sound I heard that night,
Was my baby cry, oh, my baby cry.
(Chorus)
I never thought I'd see her tears fall like rain,
I never knew love could turn into pain.
But I let her down one too many times,
Now I’m paying the price, hearing my baby cry.
Yeah, my baby cry, oh, my baby cry.
(Verse 2)
The promises I made, they all fell apart,
I didn't realize I was breaking' her heart.
Now she’s packing' her bags, heading' out that door,
And all I can do is stand here wanting more.
Oh, my baby cry, God, my baby cry.
(Chorus)
I never thought I'd see her tears fall like rain,
I never knew love could turn into pain.
But I let her down one too many times,
Now I’m paying the price, hearing my baby cry.
Yeah, my baby cry, oh, my baby cry.
(Bridge)
I should’ve held her close and made her see,
She’s the only one who’s ever meant everything to me.
But now it’s too late, as she’s driving' away,
And her tears echo in the night like a sad serenade.
(Chorus)
I never thought I'd see her tears fall like rain,
I never knew love could turn into pain.
But I let her down one too many times,
Now I’m paying the price, hearing my baby cry.
Yeah, my baby cry, oh, my baby cry.
(Outro)
Now all that's left is the sound of regret,
Of a love I had but couldn’t protect.
I’ll live with this heartache ‘til the day I die,
Just remembering the night I heard my baby cry.
