You were a tiny sparkCaught in your parents' eyesWhen they made love in the darkYou were the big surpriseAnd the old man came throughGave his very best for youAnd your mother's armsThey kept you warmLike no other arms could do(Chorus)When you couldn't find the lightAt the top of the stairsWhen you cried in the nightWell, you knew they were thereWill the light of the dayWas as bright as it seemedAnd you knew in your heartYou were livin' the rest of the dreamWell, I had a dream of youBut I never realizedBaby, the dream was trueThat's when you opened my eyesAnd I will come throughDo my very best for youAnd your lovin' armsGonna keep me warmLike no other arms will doWhen you can't find the lightAt the top of the stairsWhen you cry in the nightWell, you know I'll be thereTill the light of the dayIs as bright as it seemsAnd you know in your heartYou're livin' the rest of the dreamNow I see a tiny sparkCaught in your lovin' eyesAs we make love in the darkAnd wait for the big surpriseAnd the old man will come throughSon or daughter, just for youAnd your mama's armsGonna keep you warmLike no other arms can doWhen you can't find the lightAt the top of the stairsWhen you cry in the nightWell you know we'll be thereTill the light of the dayIs as bright as it seemsAnd you know in your heartYou're livin' the rest of the dream(Chorus)When you couldn't find the lightAt the top of the stairsWhen you cried in the nightWell, you knew they were thereWill the light of the dayWas as bright as it seemedAnd you knew in your heartYou were livin' the rest of the dream
