Letra de When You Have A Child
When you have a child You learn it's a serious business to have a little fun You give grace and get forgiveness Not seven times seven, but seven times seventy-oneAnd when you have a child Those four walls you call a house Take on a life of its own when you bring 'em home You will cry and you will laugh When they hurt it cuts you in half, it's your flesh and boneAnd year after year Pictures fill page after page They never really grow up Still your baby at any age The first time you hold 'em It's like you see God's smile, what a smileWhen you have a child And then boy meets girl And perfume and gasoline rain on your perfect world Curfews are often broken, thank-yous aren't spoken He's got the keys to that old Dodge And she's wearing a corsage and her mama's pearlsAnd year after year Pictures fill page after page They never really grow up Still your baby at any age And the first time you hold 'em It's like you feel God's smile, what a smileWhen you have a childYou pray that phone call never comes And if God forbid, how would you live? How could you go on and on and on and onAnd year after year, close the chapter and turn the page Blue ribbons and losing season, flipping tassels on the stage Oh, but you don't need a photograph You've got at least a million pictures of that smileOh, when you close your eyes When you love a child Oh when you love a child
