She loved the man

Who stayed the night

That made the child

Lord it seemed so right



Her mamma cried

And her daddy swore

It nearly broke her heart

She needed so much more



Life begin oh child within

Life begin a child within



Who can say

Why lovers part

She'll always keep a place for him

Inside her heart

He writes a bit

And people seem sincere

But she wished they'd call it more than

Just a souvenir



Life begin a child within

Life begin a child within



She fell in love

Was that a crime

She's not a bad girl

But you know it happens all the time

You give yourself

To the one you love

Tomorrow heartbreak

You never dream of



Life begin a child within

Life begin a child within

Life begin a child within
