Olivia is sitting on a barstool at O'Malley's.
She sits alone by a lamppost
Trying to find the thought that's escaped her mind
She says dads the one I love the most
But Stipe's not far behind
She looks up to see Elliot standing next to her holding out his hand. He helps her up and takes her to his car. He takes her back to his place.
She never let me in
Only tells me where she's been
When she's had too much to drink
They are sitting on his couch. She is cuddled up in his arms.
I said that I don't care
I just run my hands through her dark hair
Then I pray to God you gotta
Help me fly away
He closes his eyes as he holds back tears.
And just let her cry
If the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing
If it eases all her pain
Let her go
Let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be
Let her be
She looks to notice that he had fallen asleep.
This morning I woke up alone
Found a note standing by the phone
Saying baby, maybe I'll be back some day
I wanted to look for you
You walked in I didn't know what I should do
Olivia walked in with two cups of coffee. She went over to Elliot and set the cups on the coffee table. He stood up and looked in her eyes as one tear streamed down her face.
So I sat back down and had a beer and felt sorry for myself
Saying let her cry
If the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing
If it eases all her pain
Let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be
Let her be
They sit on the couch in each other's arms. He kisses her on the forehead.
Let her cry
If the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing
If it eases all her pain
Let her go
Let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be
Oh…
Last night I tried to leave
Cried so much I could not believe
Olivia was sleeping when Elliot looked at her in his bed and saw her in a new light.
She was the same girl I fell in love with long ago
Olivia got up and walked into the bathroom and fell to the floor crying.
She went in the back to get high
Elliot went back into the living room.
I sat on my couch and cried yellin' Oh momma please help me
Won't you hold my hand and…
He put his face in his hands and wept.
Let her cry
If the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing
If it eases all her pain
Let her go
Let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be
Oh, let her be
Olivia got into be with Elliot and rubbed her hands on his chest as he ran his hands through her hair and they kissed.
