There I was ten years old
waitin' in my room for him to come home
and I just knew he'd be so mad
though I begged my mother not to, she told my dad.
There was no denyin' 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 your 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 denyin'
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 your never too far gone
my love is there wherever you may be
just remember that you'll always be my baby yeah yeah.

There he is my little man
I'm sure he'll get in trouble every now and then
and I pray to God that when he does
I'll be just as understanding
as my father was 'cause the last thing that I want to do is let him down
so instead of being angry
I'm gonna throw my arms around him and I'll say

in the sunlight or the rain brightest nights or darkest days
I'll always feel the same way yeah whatever road you may be on
know your never too far gone
my love is there wherever you may be
just remember that you'll always be my baby
be my baby
