(Verse one)   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...'   (Chorus)   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   (Verse two)   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 eachother 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.   (Bridge)   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'   (Chorus)      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
