Lyrics:

On a September afternoon
In 1961
A baby girl's first cry ran out
A new life had begun

Her mother rocked her in her arms
And she kissed the tiny brow
And she said 'Darling I'm just as scared as you
But 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 1985
That little girl had grown into
A beautiful young bride

And she turned to the man who held her hand
In front of the waiting crowd
They smiled at each other as they spoke
And this was their wedding vow

And they said, '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 1989
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
With all of the love here in my heart
And all of the strength in my hands'

On a September afternoon
In 1991
A baby girl's first cry rang out
A new life has begun
