love will get us through


Day after day its something new,
I wake up to a dirty pamper and a screaming baby,
I feel like I'm going crazy inside but I know I have together for you.

I work everyday to make sure you have it all,
Seems like everytime I pay the rent its dew again
and right now mommys' so tierd of the struggle.

I got the final notice today for the phone and the lights,
but duke power doesn't care that I only make $6.75 an hour.
I'm only 20 I wasn't ready for all this.

I know you didn't ask to be here even though you are,
I'll do my best and I promiss I want give up,
so please my little sunshine, don't give up on me.

There's day's I wish I could go back and be 16 again,
carefree, irrasponsable, and on my own,
but then I see your face and I see how much I need you.

you give strengh when I can't go on,
and when I fall you are the reason, the only reason I get up,
you make each day full  of meaning.

so no matter how many bill collectors call,
or even if they turn everything off,
We will always have each other.

I love with all my heart and soul,
I would give my last breath to keep you happy,
we will make it you and I.
