| On a September afternoon in nineteen 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.
|
| She said 'Darling I’m just as scared as you, but I promise you somehow…'
|
| (Chorus)
|
| 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
|
| (Verse two)
|
| On a September afternoon in ninety eighty five
|
| That little girl had grown into a beautiful young bride
|
| And she turned to the man who held her hand
|
| In front of the waiting crowd
|
| They smiled at eachother as they spoke,
|
| And this was their wedding vow… And they said…
|
| 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.
|
| (Bridge)
|
| On a September afternoon in ninety eighty nine
|
| A Girl waited by a hospital bed, never leaving her mother’s side
|
| She said 'mom, why don’t you close your eyes — try to get some rest.
|
| It’s my turn to take care of you…
|
| I learned from the best, I will take care of you'
|
| (Chorus)
|
| With all of the love here in my heart
|
| And all of the strength in my hands
|
| On a September afternoon in ninety ninety one
|
| A baby girl’s first cry rang out — a new life had begun |
