A child was born on a cold and windy night


Another son in a poor family
Not far away from the burning village lights

Bit short on money but the loving ran free




And as he grew from a boy to a man
His mama cried but he didn't understand
Somehow she knew oh that someday he would go

Into the world and a life of his own




Say goodbye but never deny

All the love you're leaving behind


Don't forget all the feelings you know
They'll be with you wherever you go



Out in the world he's been living the good life

House, car and money with a true and loving wife

A child is born to this new family

They gave her everything with love guaranteed




And as she grew and the quarrels began
Her papa cried but she didn't understand


Somehow he know oh that someday she would go
Into the world and a life of her own
