YOU MAKE A VOW


When you have that precious miracle
And hold him in your arms
You swear that you’ll protect him
And keep him from all harm
Sometimes you know 
You won’t know how
But you swear by God
You make a vow

~~~*Chorus*~~~
You make a vow
You know God heard
St. Peter wrote down
Every heartfelt word
The Angels whispered
Beyond the clouds
Something always happens
When you make a vow
~~*~~

Your little guy he falls down
You brush away the tears
Someone in school is teasing him
You go and volunteer

You’re part of every field trip,
Cub scouts, and school plays
The next thing you know you’re crying
It’s graduation day

He goes away to college
But you’re still his closest friend
The phone rings every evening
He tells you how he’s been

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
And you pray that she’s a nice girl
He’s holding in his arms
That she loves him so deeply 
His heart won’t come to harm
That you won’t have to break her
If she crushes him somehow
God knows you will
You made a vow
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
You make a vow
You know God heard
St. Peter wrote down
Every heartfelt word
The Angels whispered
Beyond the clouds
Something always happens
When you make a vow
~~*~~
