Amy Sky – I will take care of you

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 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 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 each other 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.

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’

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

我会照顾你

在一九六一年九月的一个下午
一个女婴的初啼－一个新的生命开始了
妈妈怀抱着她轻轻地摇，轻吻她娇小的额头
喃喃低语，‘宝贝我同你一样的担心，
可是不管怎样我向你保证。。。’

我会照顾你的
尽我所能 用心地爱你
用我的一生来维护你
我会分享你的每个欢笑
在你伤心流泪的时候 我会陪伴在你身边
我会照顾你的

在一九八五年九月的一个下午
那个小女孩已出落成年轻漂亮的新娘
她转向握着她的手的他
在等待婚礼的人群前
一边交谈一边笑望着对方
这是他们婚礼的誓言。。。他们说。。。
我会照顾你的
尽我所能 用心地爱你
用我的一生来维护你
我会分享你的每个欢笑
在你伤心流泪的时候 我会陪伴在你身边
我会照顾你的

在一九八九年九月的一个下午
一个女孩等在病榻旁，寸步不离她的母亲
她说，‘妈妈，为什么不闭上你的双眼－好有片刻的休息。
该我来照顾你了。。。
你教会我怎样去爱，我会照顾你的’

我会用心地爱你
用我的一生来维护你

在一九九一年九月的一个下午
一个女婴的初啼－又一个新的生命开始了
