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
