When I walk in through the door br With the day’s account needed to be told br Will you smile and patiently hear br The things on my mind and all my fears? br br Just the way you heard me then br Will you do it again? br br When you see me doing a wrong br That can become a pattern lifelong br Will you scold me and make me appreciate br The changes that I need to make? br br Just the way you corrected me then br Will you do it again? br br When I come home teary eyed br With a need to free the sorrow that’s inside br Will you hold me and let me cry br And grin and call me a ‘strong girl’ in reply? br br Just the way you cheered me then br Will you do it again? br br When I am having a sleepless night br With fearsome thoughts on my mind br Will you offer me a spot on your bed br Cause I love to sleep with you and dad? br br Just the way you did it then br Will you do it again? br br When I doubt my worth, like I always do br Will you say that I’m good and mock me saying, ‘scared and you? ’ br While in response I chuckle and re-instill my potential br So that the mountainous task turns into a mole br br Just the way you told me to keep faith then br Will you do it again? br br While I don’t live with you anymore br But I still I long for the family shores br Will you promise you’ll always love br And cherish your little girl? br br Just the way you treasured me then br Will you do it again? br br When I’m older and you’re older still br I’ll be your strength and lend you a hand br But don’t thank me, thank your own will br For you’re the reason why I stand- br br Just the way I used to then br The way it’ll be time and again br br © 29 January 2008br br .Pd.
