You were a tiny spark   Caught in your parents' eyes   When they made love in the dark   But you were the big surprise      And the old man came through   Gave his very best for you   And your mother's arms, they kept you warm   Like no other arms would do      When you couldn't find the light   At the top of the stairs   When you cried in the night   You knew they were there   Till the light of the day   Was as bright as it seemed   And you knew in your heart   You were livin' the rest of the dream      Well, I had a dream of you   But I never realized   Baby, the dream was true   And that's when you opened my eyes      And I will come through   Do my very best for you   And your lovin' arms gonna keep me warm   Like no other arms will do      When you can't find the light   At the top of the stairs   When you cry in the night   You know I'll be there   Till the light of the day   Is as bright as it seems   And you know in your heart   You're livin' the rest of the dream      Now I see a tiny spark   Caught in your lovin' eyes   And as we make love in the dark   And wait for the big surprise      And the old man will come through   Son or daughter just for you   And your mama's arms gonna keep you warm   Like no other arms can do   And you know that is true      When you can't find the light   At the top of the stairs   When you cry in the night   You know I'll be there   Till the light of the day   Is as bright as it seems   And you know in your heart   We're livin' the rest of the dream      When you can't find the light   At the top of the stairs   When you cry in the night   Well you know I'll be there   Till the light of the day   Is as bright as it seems   And you know in your heart   We're livin' the rest of the dream      When you can't find the light   At the top of the stairs   When you cry in the night   You know I'll be there   Till the light of the day   Is as bright as it seems   And you know in your heart   We're livin' the rest of the dream      When you can't find the light   At the top of the stairs   When you cry in the night   You know I'll be there   Till the light of the day   Is as bright as it seems   And you know in your heart   We're livin' the rest of the dream
