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“
I will take care of you
The very best that I can
With all of the love 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
