Letra de «When you have a child»
When you have a child
You learn it's a serious business
To have a little fun
You give grace and get forgiveness
Not seven times seven
But seven times seventy one
And when you have a child Those four walls you call a house Take on a life of it's own When you bring 'em home You will cry and you will laugh When they hurt it cuts you in half It's your flesh and bone
And year after year Pictures fill page after page They never really grow up Still your baby at any age The first time you hold 'em It's like you see God's smile What a smile When you have a child
And then boy meets girl And perfume and gasoline Reign on your perfect world Curfews are often broken Thank yous aren't spoken He's got the keys to that old Dodge And she's wearing a corsage And her mama's pearls
And year after year Pictures fill page after page They never really grow up Still your baby at any age And the first time you hold 'em It's like you feel God's smile What a smile When you have a child
You pray that phone call never comes And if God forbid How would you live How could you go on And on and on and on
And year after year Close the chapter and turn the page Blue ribbons and losing seasons Flipping tassles on the stage Oh but you don't need a photograph You've got at least a million Pictures of that smile When you close your eyes When you love a child Ohh when you love a child
And when you have a child Those four walls you call a house Take on a life of it's own When you bring 'em home You will cry and you will laugh When they hurt it cuts you in half It's your flesh and bone
And year after year Pictures fill page after page They never really grow up Still your baby at any age The first time you hold 'em It's like you see God's smile What a smile When you have a child
And then boy meets girl And perfume and gasoline Reign on your perfect world Curfews are often broken Thank yous aren't spoken He's got the keys to that old Dodge And she's wearing a corsage And her mama's pearls
And year after year Pictures fill page after page They never really grow up Still your baby at any age And the first time you hold 'em It's like you feel God's smile What a smile When you have a child
You pray that phone call never comes And if God forbid How would you live How could you go on And on and on and on
And year after year Close the chapter and turn the page Blue ribbons and losing seasons Flipping tassles on the stage Oh but you don't need a photograph You've got at least a million Pictures of that smile When you close your eyes When you love a child Ohh when you love a child
