You are my baby and then,
You are my friend
You are the reason I go on
You are my dreams
You are my fears
You are the tears spared in prayer
Somewhere inside ya know
Ya know I'm trembling
I've seen enough to be afraid, yea
I look at you and I
Remember myself searching
Let me prepare you for
What lies ahead
From mother to daughter
Everyday our love is so brand new
You're like no other
No one else can take the place of you
I thank God and I pray
He keeps you safe from harm
Cause when the working day is done
I long to hold you in my arms
Cause when the working day is done
I long to hold you in my arms
And I know what a woman
Has to face to survive
And I know there be some days
You have to cry
Let me wrap you in
The blanket of my love
Let me shield you
When the working day is done
I long to hold you in my arms
Cause when the working day is done
I long to hold you in my arms
Cause when the working day is done
I long to hold you in my arms
