When I was a little girl
My father's words would guide me
Heartbreaks are lessons of pain
Dusty photo frames
Memories bittersweet
An empty rocking chair
Where hopes and sorrows meet
Tiny footprints on the floor
A ghostly dance through the room
Now silence reigns
Where laughter lived before
When I was a little girl
My father's words would guide me
Heartbreaks are lessons of pain
Can I learn to love again
I look back with a weary smile
Love's lessons are they worthwhile
Will pain return again
All these fires in which I've burned
Heartbreaks are lessons in pain
But can I learn to love again
