THERE I WAS
TEN YEARS OLD
WAITIN' IN
MY ROOM FOR HIM
TO COME HOME
AND I JUST KNEW
HE'D BE SO MAD
THOUGH I BEGGED
MY MOTHER NOT TO
SHE TOLD MY DAD
THERE WAS
NO DENYIN'
I LET HIM DOWN
BUT INSTEAD OF
BEIN' ANGRY
HE PUT
HIS ARMS AROUND ME
AND SAID
IN THE SUNLIGHT
OR THE RAIN
BRIGHTEST NIGHTS
OR DARKEST DAYS
I'LL ALWAYS
FEEL THE SAME WAY
WHATEVER ROAD
YOU MAY BE ON
KNOW YOU'RE
NEVER TOO FAR GONE
MY LOVE IS THERE
WHEREVER
YOU MAY BE
JUST REMEMBER
THAT YOU'LL ALWAYS
BE MY BABY
THERE I WAS
TWENTY-ONE
OH OH
I WAS SO ASHAMED
OF WHAT I'D DONE
ON A COUNTRY ROAD
PARKED ONE NIGHT
WHAT STARTED OUT
SO INNOCENT
CROSSED THE LINE
THERE WAS
NO DENYIN'
I LET GOD DOWN
BUT INSTEAD OF
BEIN' ANGRY
HE LET HIS LOVE
SURROUND ME
AND I HEARD
IN THE SUNLIGHT
OR THE RAIN
BRIGHTEST NIGHTS
OR DARKEST DAYS
I'LL ALWAYS
FEEL THE SAME WAY
WHATEVER ROAD
YOU MAY BE ON
KNOW YOU'RE
NEVER TOO FAR GONE
MY LOVE IS THERE
WHEREVER
YOU MAY BE
JUST REMEMBER
THAT YOU'LL ALWAYS
BE MY BABY
YEAH YEAH YEAH
THERE HE IS
MY LITTLE MAN
I'M SURE
HE'LL GET IN TROUBLE
EVERY NOW AND THEN
AND I PRAY TO GOD
THAT WHEN HE DOES
I'LL BE
JUST AS
UNDERSTANDING
AS MY FATHER WAS
'CAUSE THE LAST THING
THAT I WANNA DO
IS LET HIM DOWN
SO INSTEAD OF
BEIN' ANGRY
I'M GONNA
THROW MY ARMS
AROUND HIM
AND I'LL SAY
IN THE SUNLIGHT
OR THE RAIN
BRIGHTEST NIGHTS
OR DARKEST DAYS
I'LL ALWAYS
FEEL THE SAME WAY
YEAH
WHATEVER ROAD
YOU MAY BE ON
KNOW YOU'RE
NEVER TOO FAR GONE
MY LOVE IS THERE
WHEREVER
YOU MAY BE
JUST REMEMBER
THAT YOU'LL ALWAYS
BE MY BABY
BE MY BABY
