i'll never get over you walkin away...to hell with my pride, let it fall like rain from my eyes.

there i was, ten years old
waiting in my room for him to come home
and i just knew he'd be so mad
though i begged momma not to, she told my dad

there was no denying i let him down
but instead of being angry
he put his arms around me and said:
in the sunlight or the rain
brightest nights ☀ or darkest days ☁
i'll always feel the same way
whatever road you may be on
know you're never too far gone
my love is there, wherever you may be
just remember that you'll always be my baby

there i was, twenty-one
oh i was so ashamed of what i'd done
on a country road, parked one night
what started out so innocent crossed the line

there was no denying i let God down,
but instead of being angry
He let His love surround me and i heard:

in the sunlight or the rain,
brightest nights ☀ or darkest days ☁
i'll always feel the same way
whatever road you may be on
know you're never too far gone
my love is there, wherever you may be
just remember that you'll always be my baby.
