Cradle Days
(Aaron Neville, Tony Berg)


You took me from my mother's loving arms
I still had about a foot to grow
Whoa-ooh, I must have been only seventeen
It was a very long time ago

Actually we raised each other
You, our kids and myself
You wait 'til you become a part of me
Then you wanna put me on the shelf

Woah, that first kiss you gave me
I still remember
I was just a child, dear
Your lips were so warm and tender
That kiss, I'll always remember
That was the first day we met

I remember what the preacher said
Girl, will you be his wedded wife
And stand beside that boy forever
Like for the rest of your natural life

You took my darling babies from me
You really broke my heart in two
God in heaven knows that I love them
And in your heart you know it's true

Oh, that first kiss you gave me
I still remember
I was just a child
Your lips were so warm and tender
That kiss, oh, I'll always remember
That was the first day we met

I don't remember too much about my cradle days
Guess you could say I became a woman too fast
Whoa, what did I know
That you were the right man for me
What did I know
I knew that I loved that man

Whoa, that first kiss you gave me
Oh-o-o, how I still remember
I was just a child, dear
Your lips were so warm and tender
That kiss, I will always remember
'Cause that was the first day we met
The first day we met
Darling darling
Whoa, the first day we met

Whoa, I remember
Come back, baby, let's talk it over
Don't take your love away from me
Come back, baby
Oh, don't you wanna try it on one more time boy
Let's talk it over
Let's talk it over
Oh, how can I forget you
You Branded me
Scarred by your love
That first kiss you gave me boy
