GIVE ME BABIES AND TODDLERS AND I WILL BE HAPPY

JUST BEING WITH THEMGIVES ME JOY

GIVE ME A CHOLD WHO IS CRYING , THEY WILL WANT ME MORE THAN THEIR TOY

I HAVE A GIFT ,IT:S MY SUPER POWER

I CAN MAKE ACHILD TURN SWEET FROM SOUR

YOU DONT BELIEVE ME 

JUST GIVE ME AN HOUR

[OR 10 MINUTES OR LESS}

I CAN'T HELP IT

I LOOK IN THEIR EYES AND I KNOW I AM ONE WITH THEM

THEY ARE ALL SO VERY WISE

IT IS NOT THE WORDS OR WHAT YOU SAY OR DO

IT'S ABOUT KNOWING WHO IS WHO

THEY KNOW THAT I AM LIKE THEY ARE

I AM OLDER BUT NOT GONE SO FAR

FROM THAT PLACE WHERE IMPORTANCE LIVES

WHERE THE IMPORTANCE IS THE LOVE LIFE GIVES

AND THE BABY NEXT TO ME IN THE CAR ON THE STREET

SUDDENLY BREAKS INTO A SMILE SO SWEET

AND THE TODDLER SCREAMING IN THE CHECKOUT LINE

LOOKS IN MY EYES AND THEN EVERYTHING'S FINE

THE KIDS AT THE PLAYGROUND ALL FLOCK TO ME

WITHOUT EVEN A WORD THEY WILL SIT ON MY KNEE

I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHY 

BUT IT'S WAY OFF THE CHART

I GUESS I WILL ALWAYS BE A CHILD AT HEART
