  C
I think about my little girl

Her yellow skin and her dark curls
                               F
And how her father's heart was frozen
C

I spoke to her and I said:
                                      F
"You won't regret the mother you have chosen"
  C     F             C
I lied. Where's she tonight?

C
I left him now we're apart

And I think about his cruel heart
                                F
And how his lies have left mine broken
   C
To think that I spoke to him then I said:
                                     F
"She won't regret the father she has chosen"
  C     F            C
I lied. Where's he tonight?


You were precious to me

After all I called you into being

I wanted you to know that

Yes, you were precious to me

she has chosen

C
And I miss my little boy

I strayed away, so far away
    F            C
And I need him tonight

To feel his hands around my face

His loving eyes

His happy face
      F     C
Would be so right

C
Once I sat in my husband's car
                                   F
Him in my arms, woke up and saw me crying
                  C
My heart wouldn't work

And this he did my special child
                                     F
He touched my face with his hand and smiled
                         C
Oh boy, everything's all right
      F                     C
Don't cry, everything's all right
      F                   C
Don't cry, Jakes's here tonight
      F                  C
Don't hide, Jake's here alive
