like children rarely seen and never heard emotion bare your soul you ll never learn but don t ask why and you won t get lied to speak to us softly it s something you get used to chorus you think you know her but you never really lived a life without her couldn t tell me the things she said the books she read the way she looked when the morning came the time of night that you held her tight but you ll never forget the day she ran away i found her all alone lost in a crowd when she saw me i felt so much i cried aloud she turned away i couldn t speak to stop her the only sound i heard was the echo of her laughter chorus the things she said the books she read the time of night that you held her tight chorus
