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

~~*~~
