My Special Child

Think about my little girl

Her yellow skin and her dark curl

And how her father's heart was frozen

I spoke to her and I said

You won't regret the mother you have chosen

I lied. Where's she tonight?

I've left him now we're apart

And I think about his cruel heart

And how his lies have left mine broken

To think that I spoke to him then I said

She won't regret the father she has chosen

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)

And I miss my little boy

I strayed away, so far away

And I need him tonight

To feel his hands around my face

His loving eyes

His happy face

Would be so right

Once I sat in my husbands car

Him in my arms, woke up and saw me crying

My heart wouldn't work

And this he did my special child

He touched my face with his hand and smiled

Oh boy, everything's all right

Don't cry, everything's all right

Don't cry, Jakes's here tonight

Don't hide, Jake's here alive
