 I think about my little girl

Her yellow skin and her dark curls

 And how her father's heart was frozen

I spoke to her and I said:

 "You won't regret the mother you have chosen"

 I lied. Where s she tonight?

I left him now we're apart

And I think about his cruel heart

 And how his lies have left mine broken

 To think that I spoke to him then I said:

 "She won't regret the father she has chosen"

 I lied. Where's he tonight?

You were precious to me

After all I called you into being

I wanted you to know that

Yes, you were precious to me

she has chosen

And I miss my little boy

I strayed away, so far away

 And I need him tonight

To feel his hands around my face

His loving eyes

His happy face

 Would be so right

Once I sat in my husband's car

 Him in my arms, woke up and saw me crying

 My heart wouldn't work

And this he did my special child

 He touched my face with his hand and smiled

 Oh boy, everything's all right

 Don't cry, everything's all right

 Don't cry, Jakes's here tonight

 Don't hide, Jake's here alive
