I Will Take Care Of You Lyrics

On a September afternoon in 1961, a baby girl's first cry rang out. A new life had begun.
Her mama 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."

**Chorus*
I will take care of you. The very best that I can.
With all of the love, here in my heart. All of the strength in my hands.
You're every joy I share. For every tear I my whole life through.
I will take care of you.

On a September afternoon in 1985, 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 each other as they spoke, and this was their wedding vow.
And they said..

**Repeat Chorus*

On a September afternoon, in 1989, the girl waiting by a hospital bed, never leaving her mother's side.
She said, "Mama, oh 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."

With all of the love, here in my heart. All of the strength in my hands.

On a September afternoon in 1991, a baby girl's first cry rang out.
A new life had begun.
