There I was, ten years old
Waiting in my room for him to come home
I just knew he'd be so mad
Though I begged my mother not to, she told my dadThere was no denying I let him down
But instead of being angry
He put his arms around me and saidIn the sunlight or the rain
Brightest nights or darkest days
I'll always feel the same wayWhatever road you may be on
No, you're never too far gone
My love is there wherever you may be
Just remember that you'll always be my baby
There I was, 21
Oh, I was so ashamed of what I'd done
On a country road parked one night
What started out so innocent, crossed the lineThere was no denying, I let God down
But instead of being angry
He let His love surround me, and I heardIn the sunlight or the rain
Brightest nights or darkest days
I'll always feel the same wayWhatever road you may be on
No, you're never too far gone
My love is there wherever you may be
Just remember that you'll always be my baby
Yeah, yeah
There he is, my little man
I'm sure he'll get in trouble every now and then
And I pray to God that when he does
I'll be just as understanding as my father was'Cause the last thing that I want to do is let him down
So instead of being angry
I'm gonna throw my arms around him, and I'll sayIn the sunlight or the rain
Brightest nights or darkest days
I'll always feel the same wayWhatever road you may be on
No, you're never too far gone
My love is there wherever you may be
Just remember that you'll always be my baby
Be my baby
