You ought to know that I am here (near)

You ought to know I'll be here to love you

Just to love you

Through all the pain and through the years

I'll be the one to dry your tears

I love you, I love you

Because you're mine


Child of mine I know that you're hurting

And I've seen you try to soldier on

I am here to lift away your burden

And I will hold you till the pain is gone


So today I promise forever

Tomorrow I'll say it again

You would give it all to know the answers

And I know you've heard this all before

I'm just here to help your heart remember

That no one else could ever love you more


So today I promise forever

Tomorrow, I'll say it again


So don't you ever doubt

You are my precious child

my glory in the making

The years will bring you many trials

But I will never let you down

I'm here with my arms open just waiting for…
