Hey there Jean,

Gosh, I've been so delinquent with the Song Challenges (among other things)! So here's one I dug up from the vault to help out.

Thanks a bunch for keeping this going... and hope all's well with you grin .

"Baby of Mine"
(c) Lyrics Beth Williams 2007

V1:
A moment's transgression
Your life set in motion
I learned the first lesson
Of a mother's devotion

V2:
Belly rising like dough
Just 16, I had no choice
Was told Let Her Go
Never got to hear your voice

Chorus:
Baby
O Baby
O Baby of Mine
I gave you away
Now I'm doing the time
I kneel and I pray
That somehow I'll find
A way to explain
We were both left behind
Baby, O Baby of Mine

V3:
Were promises kept
Or would you discover
The tears wept and swept
Aside, I'm your mother?

Chorus:
Baby
O Baby
O Baby of Mine
I gave you away
Now I'm doing the time
I kneel and I pray
That somehow I'll find
A way to explain
We were both left behind
Baby, O Baby of Mine

Bridge:
Freckles and hair as red as can be
A missing branch on your family tree
Finally brought you back to me

Chorus:
Baby
O Baby
O Baby of Mine
I gave you away
Now I've paid for my crime
All these years later
I’m grateful to find
You too want to make
Up for all the lost time
Baby, O Baby of Mine

Tag: No more haunting, no more fear, Baby O Baby of Mine now you’re here
