Lyrics

SWEET LEANNE

She walks her hands through her hair and curses soft into the air
It?s getting hard to breath in there
No one seems to notice that her eyes don?t look the same
The light is dim from the sadness she?s contained

Her daddy had a temper and her mama got in the way
And from then on things were never the same
Leanne she tried praying but it didn?t change a thing
So she packed her bags at the dawning of sixteen

Sweet Leanne
Lights the candle by her bed
And sings herself to sleep sometimes
That song her mama sang

In some nameless bar she met a man who played guitar
And sang a song that rushed right through her heart

He took her home that night kissed her eyes and said it will be all right
Don?t cry baby don?t you cry

Sweet Leanne
Lights the candle by her bed
And sings herself to sleep sometimes
That song her mama sang

They married fast and young and soon he hit the road to sing his songs
And she felt it all unraveling

But then a little girl was born into the world she came so pure
And Leanna felt the hope inside her stirring

Sweet Leanne
Lights the candle by her bed
And sings her child to sleep most nights
That song her mama sang
