Intro: Oh, my child Thirty years today You came into my life And everything changed There's one thing I tried to teach you Girl, don't you waste your time Come this September You'll be somebody's wife I won't paint a picture of what you want to see Love is the harder times, take it from me I would run down the lane and into the night Run so fast, I swear my feet would fly Run from my babies, asleep in their beds Run from my lover and my best friend And back again Instrumental:
