To My Daughter (Please listen) For my Grandbabies

[Alanna Nickerson]

Mommy please don't go out tonight

I don't want to see you and Daddy fight

It scares and confuses me

Cause I know it isn't right.

Mommy why is Daddy yelling at you

Is he mad at me

Daddy please stop hitting Mommy

I love you let her be.

Mommy won't you stay home with me

Now that Daddy's gone away

I need your love and comfort

Please stay and don't go astray.

Mommy you;re all I have right now

Don't you hear my cries

Mommy just stay home with me

Before somebody dies.

Hold me and comfort me

Cause I don't understand

Why you have to go and run

Is it cause Daddy's got a gun?

Mommy we need you to ourselves

To help us make it through

When you leave we never know

If again we will ever see you

Mommy please put us first

Forget about the glamour

Come and stay with us tonight

And stay away from the clamor

We need you now more than ever

So please hear our pleas

Say you will stay with us

And put our mind at ease.
