《Help Me Understand》歌词

[00:00:00] Help Me Understand - Wilma Lee Cooper

[00:00:16] A little girl prayed

[00:00:18] At the close of the day

[00:00:24] 'Cause her daddy

[00:00:26] Had gone far away

[00:00:31] On her little face was

[00:00:34] A look of despair

[00:00:39] I stood there and listened

[00:00:42] And I heard this prayer

[00:00:47] My mommie says

[00:00:49] "Daddy has brought us to shame

[00:00:54] And I'm never no more

[00:00:57] To mention his name"

[00:01:02] Lord take me and lead

[00:01:05] Me and hold to my hand

[00:01:09] Oh heavenly father

[00:01:13] Help me understand

[00:01:21] You know friends I wonder

[00:01:23] How many homes are broken tonight

[00:01:25] And just how many tears are shed

[00:01:28] By some little word of anger

[00:01:31] That never should have been said

[00:01:33] I'd like to tell you a story

[00:01:35] Of a family I once knew

[00:01:37] Well call them Mary and William

[00:01:40] And their little daughter Sue

[00:01:42] Now Mary was just a plain mother

[00:01:45] And Bill was just a usual dad

[00:01:49] Then one day something happened

[00:01:50] It was nothing of course

[00:01:52] But one word led to another

[00:01:54] And the last word led to a divorce

[00:01:57] Now here were two grown up people

[00:02:00] Who failed to use common sense

[00:02:03] They strengthened

[00:02:04] Their own selfish pride

[00:02:05] At little Sue's expense

[00:02:07] You know she didn't ask

[00:02:09] To be brought to this world

[00:02:11] To drift from pillar to post

[00:02:13] But a divorce never

[00:02:14] Stops to consider

[00:02:16] The ones it hurts the most

[00:02:18] There'd be a lot

[00:02:20] More honest loving

[00:02:21] In this wicked ole world today

[00:02:23] If just a few parted parents

[00:02:26] Could hear little Sue say

[00:02:31] My mommie says

[00:02:33] "Daddy has brought us to shame

[00:02:39] And I'm never no more

[00:02:42] To mention his name"

[00:02:48] Lord take me and lead me

[00:02:50] And hold to my hand

[00:02:56] Oh heavenly father

[00:02:59] Help me understand
