I can hear your childlike cries in the night
He slammed the door and left again because of the fight
You need a daddy not just an empty chair
But I shrug my shoulders to say I don't care

Now you just can't seem to erase the scars from your heart
Or the memories that burn there
He used to call you sunshine and brush back your hair
But when I cry out for him, he isn't there
I hear you crying out for him, but he isn't there

Your tear-soaked pillow tells the story so well
It wasn't hard for him to find an excuse to go
Your heart aches when you think how quickly you fell
I was just under his spell you know

Now you just can't seem to erase the scars from your heart
Or the memories that burn there
He used to call you sunshine and brush back your hair
But when I cry out for him, he isn't there
I hear you crying out for him, but he isn't there

But there's this someone I want you to meet
He's been knockin' on your heart this whole time
And if you just let him in, oh, the peace he'll bring
He'll show you love is truly blind

And he'll erase the scars from your heart
And the memories that burn there
He'll call you sunshine and brush back your hair
(But when I cry out for him, he isn't there)
I pray you'll cry out for him, cause my Jesus
He will be there
