On a september afternoon, in nineteen-sixty-one A little girl's first criy rang out - a new life had begun Her mother rocked her in her arms, and she kissed her tiny brow She said 'darling i'm just as scared as you, i promise you somehow...' I will take care of you The very best that i can With all of the love here in my heart And all of the strength in my hands Your every joy i'll share For every tear i'll be there my whole life through I will take care of you On a september afternoon in nineteen-eighty-five That little girl had grown into a beautiful young bride And she turned to the man who held her hand In front of the wedding crowd They smiled at eachother as they spoke And this was their wedding vow. I will take care of you The very best that i can With all of the love here in my heart And all of the strength in my hands Your every joy i'll share Your every tear i'll be there my whole life through I will take care of you On a september afternoon in nineteen-eighty-nine A girl waited by a hospital bed, never leaving her mother's side She said 'mama, why don't you close your eyes - try to get some rest It's my turn to take care of you. I learned from the best, i will take care of you' I will take care of you The very best that i can With all of the love here in my heart And all of the strength in my hands Your every joy i'll share Your every tear i'll be there my whole life through I will take care of you

I've been in love a time or two Well, I've played the game before And the wisdom I pass it on to you 'Cause your love is so much more More than just a crazy game, a fantasy Full of joy and pain, part of reality It's calling out your name Somebody said that you've been searchin', I know you've been For the love you lost You never knew how much he hurt you, hurt you You try to make a new start Don't you know that time can't always heal a broken heart When you know in your heart he still holds a part Calling out your name Whoa, oh, I'm caught in the crosswinds You got me hungry for your love I'm caught in the crosswinds I don't know if I'm right or wrong Isn't it a shame, yeah Isn't it a shame Lowdown dirty shame Hey, yeah so you think you'll never love again Well, I know how you feel But life will never be the same Until you love for me Life is just a crazy game, a fantasy Full of joy and pain, part of reality It's calling out your name Callin' your name Somebody said that you've been searchin', I know you've been In the back of your mind You didn't knew that he would hurt you, hurt you You put your love on the line Don't you know that time can't always heal a broken Even though in your mind he still holds a part Callin' out your name, callin' your name Whoa, oh, I'm caught in the crosswinds Got me hungry for your love I'm caught in the crosswinds I don't know if I'm right or wrong Isn't it a shame A lowdown dirty shame Girl, you got me hungry for your love Your love Yeah, oh, yeah Girl, you got me callin', callin', callin' out your name Caught up in the crosswinds, yeah(I'm caught up in the crosswinds, yeah) Callin' out your name, hey (Girl, you got me hungry for your love)(Caught up in the crosswinds)Girl, you got me hungry for your love Calling out your name Yeah, yeah

Aahhh so hurt to think that you lie, lie to me So hurt deep down inside of me You said our love was true And we never ever part But now you want someone new And it breaks my heart I'm so hurt much more than you ever, ever know

If we both decide to try and make it one more time I hope we take the time to know each other well And if the answers don't come quick we'll go with how it feels And sometimes that's not 'Yes' or 'No' But maybe there'll be no falling stars this time around I still believe that honesty is all we'll ever need You and me again, maybe You keep asking me if I will love you for all time If two of us will be enough to make it strong And if we learn to keep it free and let each other grow We'll find out there's no 'Yes' or 'No' Just maybe there'll be no falling stars this time around I still believe that honesty is all we'll ever need Can we make it through? Maybe No candles or guitar this time around (This time around) I still believe that honesty is all we'll ever need (All we'll need) You and me again (Maybe) (Maybe) Maybe there'll be no falling stars this time around (This time around) I still believe that honesty is all we'll ever need for us (Can we make it through?)
