Hey, girl, put away your handkerchief
Dry your eyes and get ahold of your heart
Lift your head up, don’t you worry now
Brighter days are just about to start

You been scraping bottom long enough
Pushed and pulled by every “all-the-way” guy, yeah
But now I’m here to shelter you
And love you faithfully until I die, yeah

You’re my baby now
And I wanna take care of you
You’re my baby now
And I wanna take care of you

Don’t you be afraid to follow me
Take my hand and let me lead you away
Away from all those bitter memories
That you’re having trouble shaking today, yeah

Just relax and let me open your eyes
To all the things you never could see
‘Cause once you’re in my arms and feel the love
I got for you you’re gonna be free, yes you will

Don’t you worry, baby
(Don’t worry, baby yeah)
Hmm, everything gonna be all right
(I know you’re gonna make it, you’re gonna make it right)
Don’t you worry, honey, no no no
(Oh, hold me to you, baby, hold me close)
Gonna make the sun shine
(Gonna make the sun shine)
Gonna make the sun shine so high
