No Charge (Previously Unreleased Version) - Shirley Caesar[00:00:00]
My sister's little boy came into the kitchen[00:00:09]
One evening while she was fixing supper[00:00:12]
And he handed her a piece paper[00:00:16]
He had been writing on[00:00:17]
And after wiping her hands on an apron[00:00:19]
She took it in her hands and she read it[00:00:22]
And this is what it said[00:00:25]
For mowing the yard, five dollars[00:00:29]
And for making up my own bed this week, one dollar[00:00:32]
For going to the store, fifty cents[00:00:37]
And playing with little brother while you went shopping, twenty-five cents[00:00:41]
Taking out the trash, one dollar[00:00:50]
And for getting a good report card, five dollars[00:00:55]
And for raking the yard, two dollars[00:00:59]
Total owed, fourteen seventy-five[00:01:04]
Well, she looked at him standing there and expecting[00:01:10]
And a thousand memories flashed through her mind[00:01:14]
So she picked up pen and she turned the paper over[00:01:19]
And this is what she wrote[00:01:23]
For the 9 months I carried you[00:01:26]
Holding inside me, no charge[00:01:30]
For the nights I sat up with you[00:01:37]
Doctored you, prayed for you, no charge[00:01:40]
For the time and the tears and the costs through the years[00:01:47]
There is no charge[00:01:54]
When you add it all up the real cost of my love[00:01:57]
Is no charge[00:02:03]
For the nights filled with gray[00:02:08]
And the worries ahead, no charge[00:02:11]
For the advice and the knowledge[00:02:18]
And the costs of your college, no charge[00:02:22]
For the toys, food and clothes[00:02:28]
And for wiping your nose there's no charge son[00:02:32]
When you add it all up the real cost of my love[00:02:39]
Is no charge[00:02:45]
Paid in full[00:03:07]
When you add it all up the real cost of my love is no charge[00:03:10]
