We Couldn't Tell a Child

(Ralph Davis - Pete Drake)



We weren't afraid to face the world but we couldn't tell a child.



I'm glad that I have told you all about her

(And I told you about him without a doubt)

Our cheating's reached the point it's breaking up our home

And there's one who's got to know that we've left out.



How can you tell a child you don't love his mommie

(If I say I don't love dad would he realize)

We didn't care who knew about the way we live

We weren't afraid to face the world but we couldn't tell a child.



We've known for so long our love was over

But there's one thing that we've just pushed aside

We couldn't tell the one that needed most to know

We weren't afraid to face the world but we couldn't tell a child.



We weren't afraid to face the world but we couldn't tell a child...
