Babysitter - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]

When I rearrange the pieces of the puzzle of my past[00:00:00]

I sigh at the heartaches relive the laughs[00:00:04]

And I think about the moments that have left their mark[00:00:08]

And the too few faces that shine a little light in the dark[00:00:11]

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 hair[00:01:06]

If anything was in my head twelve winters put it there[00:01:13]

A dollar an hour is what mama[00:01:19]

Paid you to come and mind her kids[00:01:22]

But no one could really pay you enough[00:01:25]

For what you really did[00:01:29]

Many happy things keep happening[00:01:32]

On my journey through this world[00:01:35]

And in many ways that I will never understand[00:01:39]

I was much too late[00:01:45]

To be the first to make you a woman[00:01:47]

But you were the one[00:01:52]

Who made my mother's son a man[00:01:53]

You know I used to read myself[00:02:03]

To sleep when I went to bed[00:02:06]

I guess I was a dreamer then who lived inside my head[00:02:10]

But the nights that you came you talked of things[00:02:16]

I found I had a friend[00:02:20]

You brought my fears of people to a sure and gentle end[00:02:23]

Many happy things keep happening[00:02:29]

On my journey through this world[00:02:32]

And in many ways that I will never understand[00:02:36]

I was much too late[00:02:42]

To be the first to make you a woman[00:02:43]

But you were the one[00:02:49]

Who made my mother's son a man[00:02:50]

Do you remember the night[00:03:00]

When you turned out the light[00:03:01]

And 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 me[00:03:09]

When I think about you now[00:03:20]

It's not that my memory fails[00:03:23]

There's just no need for graphic telling of all the details[00:03:26]

Let's just say you taught me something[00:03:32]

That brought me from my shell[00:03:35]

You gave to me that first sweet taste[00:03:38]

Of the heaven here in this hell[00:03:42]

Many happy things keep happening[00:03:44]

On my journey through this world[00:03:47]

And in many ways that I will never understand[00:03:51]

I was much too late[00:03:57]

To be the first to make you a woman[00:03:59]

But you were the one[00:04:04]

Who made my mother's son a man[00:04:05]
