The song tells a story about a life.
Lyrics
I ONCE WAS A BABE IN A CRADLE I LAY, FAR FROM ANY HARM AND THERE SHE STOOD MY MOTHER SHE WOULD, LOVE ME MORE THAN ANY OTHER CHARM. I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU. PROTECT ME I SAID TO MY ANGEL AS I WED, KEEP ME SAFE FROM ALL THE HEARTACHE AND HATE AND HER REPLY WAS I’LL NEVER LIE, TRUST ME LOVE ME AND I’LL BE YOUR GUIDE. I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU. THE OLDER I BECAME AND WENT ON MY WAY WISDOM CAME FORTH FROM MY FATHER’S VOICE. THE WORDS HE SPOKE WERE HEEDED THE MOST, KINDNESS AND PATIENCE DELIVER YOU WHOLE. I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU. MY LIFE IT SEEMED FLOWED LIKE MANY PEOPLES DREAMS, LOVERS AND BEAUTY ALL CAME PACKAGED IN ONE. THE LOVER I CHOSE WAS SO NOBLE AND BOLD HIDDEN FOR ME WAS A TREASURE OF GOLD. I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU.
