Lyric 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 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
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
