I want a son — текст песни (Kenny Rogers)

I want a son.

I want a son
Someone I can blame for turning grey
To share my name, to share my days
To share the things I`ve earned
The lessons that I`ve learned along the way
He`d have a friend and we`d have fun
I love to laugh and I would love to have a son.

I want a girl
Twirling round the room in pink and blue
To count on me, to see her through
Who`d worry when I`m late
And tell me that I`m great when it`s not true
She`d have a friend and we`d have fun
I`d love a daughter just as I would love a son.

I wanna care
I wanna wonder where they are
I wanna see that they go farther than me
And carry on, the things I love, when I`m gone.

Forgetting me
I`d be good for them, I really would
They`d have someone who understood
Who`d always be around
And never let them down, I never could.

He`d have a friend and we`d have fun
She`d have a friend, we`d all be one
I`d love to have a girl
Or I would love to have a son.
