It was the first day of school today
She couldn't wait to run and play
The big bright smile she held with grace
Slowly drifted from her face
The little boys and girls that day
Never wanted her to play
The kids started to laugh and joke
All because the girl's mama's broke
She felt so alone
So she ran home
That's when her mama said
Take a breath
And count to ten
All will soon
Feel right again
Take my hand
Don't hold back now
We will get through this somehow
So please just hold on
Another day
Another dawn
I will always be here
To wipe your tears
Until the end
Of my years
The little girl
Was now sixteen
Happier than
She had ever been
There was a boy
Who loved her so
More than anyone
Could ever know
But he crashed his car
One Friday night
Her love was taken
From her life
The pain had grabbed her
By her heart
And slowly ripped her life apart
That's when her mama said
Take a breath
And count to ten
All will soon
Feel right again
Take my hand
Don't hold back now
We will get through this somehow
So please just hold on
Another day
Another dawn
I will always be here
To wipe your tears
Until the end
Of my years
That little girl
Was all grown up
And that's when her
Life would destruct
She found out
That her mom was sick
That's the moment her life left
Her mama didn't have
Much time left
Daughter watched her
As she slept
And as she
She held her mama's hand
The daughter closed her eyes
And said
I will
Take a breath
And I'll count to ten
But don't you fret
We'll meet again
I'll take your hand
And won't back down
I will get
Through this somehow
And I will hold on
Another day
Another dawn
You were always there
To wipe my tears
Until the end
Until the end
Oh oh
Of your years
Oh oh
Oh
Oh
