C F 4x *

 C
I think about my little girl

Her yellow skin and her dark curls
                F
And how her father's heart was frozen
C

I spoke to her and I said:
                   F
"You won't regret the mother you have chosen"
 C   F       C
I lied. Where's she tonight?

C
I left him now we're apart

And I think about his cruel heart
                F
And how his lies have left mine broken
  C
To think that I spoke to him then I said:
                   F
"She won't regret the father she has chosen"
 C   F      C
I lied. Where's he tonight?


You were precious to me

After all I called you into being

I wanted you to know that

Yes, you were precious to me

she has chosen

C
And I miss my little boy

I strayed away, so far away
  F      C
And I need him tonight

To feel his hands around my face

His loving eyes

His happy face
   F   C
Would be so right

C
Once I sat in my husband's car
                  F
Him in my arms, woke up and saw me crying
         C
My heart wouldn't work

And this he did my special child
                   F
He touched my face with his hand and smiled
             C
Oh boy, everything's all right
   F           C
Don't cry, everything's all right
   F          C
Don't cry, Jakes's here tonight
   F         C
Don't hide, Jake's here alive
