[Intro]
Precious little children, what can I do?
Someday they'll remember what I told you

[Verse 1]
Did it together, just you and me
Without a man in this family
I didn't raise them, it's you they love
They will remember the things you've done

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I felt that I'd lost my mind
Things didn't work out the way we planned
And when they grow up and they need you
They will replay what I told to

[Chorus]
You'll be taken care of
They'll remember you
Precious little children, on that you can be sure
You will never want for more

[Verse 3]
When people walk in, be kind and smart
And you will see that you'll all go far
I haven't long but I know it's true
These little ones do a lot to
[Chorus]
You'll be taken care of
They'll remember you
Precious little children, on that you can be sure
You will never want for more

[Verse 4]
You'll be taken care of
They'll remember you
Someday they will give you
Things I never could

[Verse 5]
You'll be taken care of
Of that you can be sure
If there's any justice in this world
You'll never want for more

[Outro]
Someday, I promise you
Remember what I say is true
Someday, I promise you
Remember what I say is true
