《No Charge》歌词

[00:00:00] No Charge (Previously Unreleased Version) - Shirley Caesar

[00:00:09] My sister's little boy came into the kitchen

[00:00:12] One evening while she was fixing supper

[00:00:16] And he handed her a piece paper

[00:00:17] He had been writing on

[00:00:19] And after wiping her hands on an apron

[00:00:22] She took it in her hands and she read it

[00:00:25] And this is what it said

[00:00:29] For mowing the yard, five dollars

[00:00:32] And for making up my own bed this week, one dollar

[00:00:37] For going to the store, fifty cents

[00:00:41] And playing with little brother while you went shopping, twenty-five cents

[00:00:50] Taking out the trash, one dollar

[00:00:55] And for getting a good report card, five dollars

[00:00:59] And for raking the yard, two dollars

[00:01:04] Total owed, fourteen seventy-five

[00:01:10] Well, she looked at him standing there and expecting

[00:01:14] And a thousand memories flashed through her mind

[00:01:19] So she picked up pen and she turned the paper over

[00:01:23] And this is what she wrote

[00:01:26] For the 9 months I carried you

[00:01:30] Holding inside me, no charge

[00:01:37] For the nights I sat up with you

[00:01:40] Doctored you, prayed for you, no charge

[00:01:47] For the time and the tears and the costs through the years

[00:01:54] There is no charge

[00:01:57] When you add it all up the real cost of my love

[00:02:03] Is no charge

[00:02:08] For the nights filled with gray

[00:02:11] And the worries ahead, no charge

[00:02:18] For the advice and the knowledge

[00:02:22] And the costs of your college, no charge

[00:02:28] For the toys, food and clothes

[00:02:32] And for wiping your nose there's no charge son

[00:02:39] When you add it all up the real cost of my love

[00:02:45] Is no charge

[00:03:07] Paid in full

[00:03:10] When you add it all up the real cost of my love is no charge
