They brought you home
In a blue and white blanket
And I looked over
At a perfect tiny baby
And for the first time
I was bigger than someone
Cause I wasn't even two myself
And Mama said it's time for bed
And I said you go to bed and I'll take care of the baby, of the baby
You go to bed and I'll take care of the baby, of the baby
And when it rained
We'd take our shoes off and go outside
And we played
Til it was time to rest our tired eyes
But our pillows talked and
Forts grew tall in our room
And mama tried to separate us
But she would underestimate us
Yeah I'd make it back cause I take care of the baby, of the baby
I'd make it back cause I take care of the baby, of the baby
You can grow taller than the trees and me
You can go anywhere you wanna be
But it will always be you and me
And now we're grown
And you're better than I'll ever be
And you have shown me
More love than I could ever dream of
Now we don't build forts but
I am yours forever
No I'll never stop cause I take care of the baby, of the baby
I'll never stop, no, I take care of the baby, of the baby
I'll never stop, no, I take care of the baby, of the baby
I'll never stop, no, I take care of the baby, of the baby
And the baby takes care of me
