Thru the hard times of my life you came to me
And you said that you'd be there
You reached out your hand
And said come on
I remember times when I didn't want to be
You congratulated me for being strong and hangin' on
You brought me happiness and taught me how to sing
You have given me my wings and now I want to offer you this mandolin
That's been in my family
It's been around since thirty-three or thirty-two
Now I know you need a lady and I want to see
And I want to see you with someone who will love you strong and
Let you be and in the morning when she comes to you
She'll bring you fresh papaya with mint tea, scrambled eggs and
Cherries Jubilee
You brought me happiness and taught me how to sing
You have given me my wings and now
I'd like to offer you a friendly call
When you're down and feeling blue
You know that I'd like to do
Is offer me to you
You know I love you like my brother and I want to be
I want to be your special friend
I want to know you when we're ninety-three
You brought me happiness and taught me how to sing
You have given me my wings and now I'd like to
offer you some scrambled eggs and Cherries Jubilee
You know where I'd like to be is home with you
Home with you
