Precious little children
What can I do?
Someday they'll remember
What I told you
Did it together, just you and me
Without a man in this family
I didn't raise them, it's you they love
They will remember the things you've done
Sometimes I felt that I'd lost my mind
Things didn't work out the way we planned
And when they grow up and they need you
They will replay what I told to
You'll be taken care of
They'll remember you
Precious little children
On that you can be sure
You will never want for more
When people walk in, be kind and smart
And you will see that you'll all go far
I haven't long but I know it's true
These little ones do a lot to
You'll be taken care of
They'll remember you
Precious little children
On that you can be sure
You will never want for more
You'll be taken care of
They'll remember you
Someday they will give you
Things I never could
You'll be taken care of
Of that you can be sure
If there's any justice in this world
You'll never want for more
Someday, I promise you
Remember what I say is true
Someday, I promise you
Remember what I say is true
