Bettina - Cradle To The Grave lyrics

Mama came from West Virginia Her daddy died when she was twelve Raised a family long before she raised her own Dad was always independent Had a mind that opened doors Married mom and served his country in the war Brother came and then my sister Guess you'd call me a surprise We were raised to keep each other safe from harm Thunder rolled and storms would shake us My brother never left my side He would stay with me from sunset till the dawn For as long as the moon lights the sky Every year, every day, every night From the cradle to the grave From the first breath that you take I'll be there for you Till the sun sets on our lives We'll laugh until we have to cry That will never change Like the memories that we make From the cradle to the grave Growing up is never easy We all try to find our way Baby sister's making music, chasing dreams No matter how our lives are different We're still the same kids mama raised I look out for them and they look out for me For as long as the moon lights the sky Every year, every day, every night From the cradle to the grave From the first breath that you take I'll be there for you Till the sun sets on our lives We'll laugh until we have to cry That will never change Like the memories that we make From the cradle to the grave Time marches on; people come and people go So many miles left to travel on this road I'll stand by you; good times and bad; when life gets serious You're not alone; nothing can come between us From the cradle to the grave From the first breath that you take I'll be there for you Till the sun sets on our lives We'll laugh until we have to cry That will never change Like the memories that we make From the cradle to the grave
