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
