[00:00:00] Babysitter (LP版) - Harry Chapin

[00:00:00] Written by：Harry Chapin

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

[00:00:03] 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

[00:00:10] Mark

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

[00:00:14] 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

[00:01:11] Hair

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

[00:01:18] There

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

[00:01:23] Come and mind her kids

[00:01:26] But no one could really pay you enough for what

[00:01:30] You really did

[00:01:32] Many happy things keep happening on my journey through this

[00:01:37] World

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

[00:01:45] I was much too late to be the first to

[00:01:48] Make you a woman

[00:01:52] But you were the one who made my mother's son

[00:01:55] A man

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

[00:02:08] I went to bed

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

[00:02:15] My head

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

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

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

[00:02:27] Gentle end

[00:02:29] Many happy things keep happening on my journey through this

[00:02:34] World

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

[00:02:42] I was much too late to be the first to

[00:02:45] Make you a woman

[00:02:49] But you are the one who made my mother's son

[00:02:52] A man

[00:02:59] Do you remember the night when you turned out the

[00:03:03] Light

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

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

[00:03:10] So I did just what you told me please hold

[00:03:14] Me

[00:03:20] When I think about you now it's not that my

[00:03:24] Memory fails

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

[00:03:30] Details

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

[00:03:36] From my shell

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

[00:03:42] Heaven here in this hell

[00:03:44] Many happy things keep happening on my journey through this

[00:03:50] World

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

[00:03:57] I was much too late to be the first to

[00:04:00] Make you a woman

[00:04:04] But you were the one who made my mother's son

[00:04:07] A man
