I was about six before I knew

I needed to be loved and to love you

That to do both, I would have to be true

To not just one love, there were two

I didn’t want to see you blue

“you needed my love to help you through”

This was important I really knew

So I gave you my heart but kept mine too

I wanted to be strong to have and to hold

Because you are precious and needed consoled

For you I needed to be strong and sincere

One love to preserve my heart from despair

The other love I gave to you to freely share

So I held onto my first love for you ‘cause I care
