Precious little children What can I do? Someday they'll remember What I told you Did it together, just you and me Without a man in this family I didn't raise them, it's you they love They will remember the things you've done Sometimes I felt that I'd lost my mind Things didn't work out the way we planned And when they grow up and they need you They will replay what I told to You'll be taken care of They'll remember you Precious little children On that you can be sure You will never want for more When people walk in, be kind and smart And you will see that you'll all go far I haven't long but I know it's true These little ones do a lot to You'll be taken care of They'll remember you Precious little children On that you can be sure You will never want for more You'll be taken care of They'll remember you Someday they will give you Things I never could You'll be taken care of Of that you can be sure If there's any justice in this world You'll never want for more Someday, I promise you Remember what I say is true Someday, I promise you Remember what I say is true
