On a September afternoon |
|
in nineteenn sixty one |
|
A baby girl's first cry rang out |
|
a new life had begun |
|
Her mother rocked her in her arms |
|
and she kissed the tiny brow-and she said |
|
"Darling I'm just as scared as you |
|
But i promise you somehow" |
|
I will take care of you |
|
the very best that I can |
|
With all of the love here in my heart |
|
and all of the strength in my hands |
|
Your every joy I'll share |
|
for every tear I'll be there |
|
my whole life through |
|
I will take care of you |
|
On a September afternoon |
|
in nineteen neighty five |
|
that little girl had grown into |
|
a beautiful younng bride |
|
She turned to the man who held her hand |
|
in front of the waiting crowd |
|
They smiled at each other as they spoke |
|
and this was their wedding vow |
|
I will take care of you |
|
the very best that I can |
|
With all of the love here in my heart |
|
and all of the strength in my hands |
|
Your every joy I'll share |
|
for every tear i'll be there |
|
my whole life through |
|
I will take care of you |
|
On a September afternoon |
|
In nineteen eighty nine |
|
The girl waited by a hospital bed |
|
Never leaving her mother's side |
|
try to get some rest |
|
It's my turn to take care of you and I learned from the best |
|
I will take care of you" |
|
With all of the love here in my heart |
|
and all of the strength in my hands |
|
On a September afternoon |
|
In nineteen ninety one |
|
A baby girl's first cry rang out |
|
A new life has begun... |
