[Verse 1]
[D]A Little G[A]irl[D]
A little girl prayed at the close [G]of [D]the day
Cause her daddy had gone far [A]away
On [D]her little face was a [G]look of despair
[D]I stood there and listened
and [A]I heard this praye[D]r
my [G]mama says daddy has
[D]brought us to shame
and i'm [G]never no more to
men[D]tion his [A]name
Lord, [D]take me and lead me
[G]and hold to my hand
[D]Oh, Heavenly Father,
help [A]me [D]understand
You know, friends, I wonder
how many homes [G]are broken tonight
And [D]just how many tears are shed
By some little word of anger
that never should have been said
[A]I'd like to tell you a story of a family
[D]I once knew we'll call them
Mary [G]and William
and their little daughter [D]Sue now Mary
was just a plain mother and Bill
well he was the [A]usual dad
an[D]d they had their little family quarrels
like everybody [G]else
but Neither one really got mad.
[D]Then one day something happened.
It [G]was nothing, of course,
but one word [D]led to another,
and the last word led to a [A]di vorce.
Now [D]here were two
grown -up people
who failed to use common sense.
[G]They strengthened their own
[D]selfish pride
at little Sue's [G]expense.
[D]You know, she did[A]n't ask
to be brought to this world
[D]to drift from pillar to post
but a [G]divorce never stops
to consider the ones it [D]hurts the most
there'd be a lot [G]more honest loving
in this wicked old world today
[D]if just a few parted [A]parents
could hear little sue say
[D]take me and lead me [G]and hold to my hand
[D]Oh, Heavenly Father, help me [A]und[D]erstand
