Babysitter (LP版) - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]
Written by:Harry Chapin[00:00:00]
When I rearrange the pieces of the puzzle of my[00:00:00]
Past[00:00:03]
I sigh at the heartaches relive the laughs[00:00:04]
And I think about the moments that have left their[00:00:08]
Mark[00:00:10]
And the too few faces that shine a little light[00:00:11]
In the dark[00:00:14]
If you don't mind I'm gonna tell you a story[00:00:18]
And I think that it won't bore you[00:00:21]
For it's a tale that I've never told[00:00:24]
To anyone before you 'cause it's for you[00:00:28]
The sun of sixteen Summers had put halos in your[00:01:06]
Hair[00:01:11]
If anything was in my head twelve winters put it[00:01:13]
There[00:01:18]
A dollar an hour is what mama paid you to[00:01:19]
Come and mind her kids[00:01:23]
But no one could really pay you enough for what[00:01:26]
You really did[00:01:30]
Many happy things keep happening on my journey through this[00:01:32]
World[00:01:37]
And in ways that I will never understand[00:01:39]
I was much too late to be the first to[00:01:45]
Make you a woman[00:01:48]
But you were the one who made my mother's son[00:01:52]
A man[00:01:55]
You know I used to read myself to sleep when[00:02:03]
I went to bed[00:02:08]
I guess I was a dreamer then who lived inside[00:02:10]
My head[00:02:15]
But the nights you came you talked of things I[00:02:16]
Found I had a friend[00:02:20]
You brought my fears of people to a sure and[00:02:23]
Gentle end[00:02:27]
Many happy things keep happening on my journey through this[00:02:29]
World[00:02:34]
And in ways that I will never understand[00:02:36]
I was much too late to be the first to[00:02:42]
Make you a woman[00:02:45]
But you are the one who made my mother's son[00:02:49]
A man[00:02:52]
Do you remember the night when you turned out the[00:02:59]
Light[00:03:03]
And you said to me please hold me[00:03:03]
I did not know which way to go[00:03:06]
So I did just what you told me please hold[00:03:10]
Me[00:03:14]
When I think about you now it's not that my[00:03:20]
Memory fails[00:03:24]
There's just no need for graphic telling of all the[00:03:26]
Details[00:03:30]
Let's just say you taught me something that brought me[00:03:32]
From my shell[00:03:36]
You gave to me that first sweet taste of the[00:03:38]
Heaven here in this hell[00:03:42]
Many happy things keep happening on my journey through this[00:03:44]
World[00:03:50]
And in ways that I will never understand[00:03:51]
I was much too late to be the first to[00:03:57]
Make you a woman[00:04:00]
But you were the one who made my mother's son[00:04:04]
A man[00:04:07]
