Bette Midler - Cradle Days

You took me from my mother`s lovin` arms.
I still had about a foot to grow.
Whoa-ooh, I must have been only maybe seventeen.
It was a very long time ago.

Actually we raised each other;
you, our kids and myself.
You wait `til you become a part of me,
then you wanna put me on the shelf.

Woah, that first kiss you gave me, I still remember.
I was just a child, dear.
Your lips were so warm and tender.
That kiss, I`ll always remember.
That was the first day we met.

I remember what the preacher said:
"Girl, will you be his wedded wife,
(forever and ever)
`n` stand beside that boy forever,
like for the rest of your natural life?"

You took my darlin` babies from me!
You really broke my heart in two!
God in heaven knows that I love them!
And in your heart you know it`s true!

Oh, that first kiss you gave me, I still remember.
I was just a child. Your lips were so warm and tender.
That kiss, oh, I`ll always remember.
That was the first day we met.
(Always remember. It`s a kiss that I`ll never forget.)

I don`t remember too much about my cradle days.
Guess you could say I became a woman too fast.
Whoa, what did I know? That you were the right man for me.
What did I know? I knew that I loved that man!

Whoa, that first kiss you gave me, oh-o-o, how I still remember!
I was just a child, dear. Your lips were so warm and tender.
That kiss, I will always remember,
`cause that was the first day we met.
The first day we met, darlin`, darlin`, whoa, the first day we met.

Whoa, I remember!
Come back, baby, let`s talk it over!
Don`t take your love away from me!
Come back, baby.
Oh, don`t you wanna try it on one more time boy?
Let`s talk it over. Let`s talk it over!
Oh, how can I forget you?
Branded me! Scarred by your love!
That first kiss you gave me boy!
