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"
