《Babysitter》歌词

[00:00:00] Babysitter - Harry Chapin

[00:00:00] When I rearrange the pieces of the puzzle of my past

[00:00:04] I sigh at the heartaches relive the laughs

[00:00:08] And I think about the moments that have left their mark

[00:00:11] And the too few faces that shine a little light in the dark

[00:00:18] If you don't mind I'm gonna tell you a story

[00:00:21] And I think that it won't bore you

[00:00:24] For it's a tale that I've never told

[00:00:28] To anyone before you cause it's for you

[00:01:06] The sun of sixteen summers had put halos in your hair

[00:01:13] If anything was in my head twelve winters put it there

[00:01:19] A dollar an hour is what mama

[00:01:22] Paid you to come and mind her kids

[00:01:25] But no one could really pay you enough

[00:01:29] For what you really did

[00:01:32] Many happy things keep happening

[00:01:35] On my journey through this world

[00:01:39] And in many ways that I will never understand

[00:01:45] I was much too late

[00:01:47] To be the first to make you a woman

[00:01:52] But you were the one

[00:01:53] Who made my mother's son a man

[00:02:03] You know I used to read myself

[00:02:06] To sleep when I went to bed

[00:02:10] I guess I was a dreamer then who lived inside my head

[00:02:16] But the nights that you came you talked of things

[00:02:20] I found I had a friend

[00:02:23] You brought my fears of people to a sure and gentle end

[00:02:29] Many happy things keep happening

[00:02:32] On my journey through this world

[00:02:36] And in many ways that I will never understand

[00:02:42] I was much too late

[00:02:43] To be the first to make you a woman

[00:02:49] But you were the one

[00:02:50] Who made my mother's son a man

[00:03:00] Do you remember the night

[00:03:01] When you turned out the light

[00:03:03] And said to me please hold me

[00:03:06] I did not know which way to go

[00:03:09] So I did just what you told me please hold me

[00:03:20] When I think about you now

[00:03:23] It's not that my memory fails

[00:03:26] There's just no need for graphic telling of all the details

[00:03:32] Let's just say you taught me something

[00:03:35] That brought me from my shell

[00:03:38] You gave to me that first sweet taste

[00:03:42] Of the heaven here in this hell

[00:03:44] Many happy things keep happening

[00:03:47] On my journey through this world

[00:03:51] And in many ways that I will never understand

[00:03:57] I was much too late

[00:03:59] To be the first to make you a woman

[00:04:04] But you were the one

[00:04:05] Who made my mother's son a man
