For Little Johnnys Sake
Words by Deforest Ray Sparks
Music by Don Malena
Sung by Don Malena
She walked out the door
into the morning haze
There goes the light
of my days
She walked by the sandbox
where little Johnny plays
Ignoring his eyes
and wundering gaze
On the outside I'm not crying
for little Johnnys sake
But on the inside I'm dying
my heart's about to break
My eyes are lying
for little Johnnys sake
For if he saw me crying
his little heart would break
Tonight I must tell him
his mommy is not coming home
Lord please help me
I feel so alone
As I get to his bedroom
I here him start to pray
And while standing there
I hear him say
God, I'm not crying
for my daddys sake
But I'm crying on the inside
my heart's about to break
Forgive my eyes for lying
cause it's for my daddys sake
Cause if he saw me crying
I know his heart would break
