» I'll Take Care of You

I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU

​Winter arrived today,

the fields are all wet with rain

The cold, blustery, painful kind, to sting your face

and make you close your eyes

I pass a little robin's nest, oh! my goodness,

there's life there yet

what's the matter little bird,

did you not get the word

​CHORUS

I'll take care of you, like a true friend would do

I won't abandon you, I'll be true, and I'll take care of you

​

Little Robin all alone,

shivering, in your little Irish home

Come inside to warm yourself,

you can bring along your little nest

Sleepy eyes, shallow breathe,

frightened ball of feathers in a nest;

Did they leave you unknowingly,

in their haste to get to Italy?

​CHORUS

I'll take care of you, like a true friend would do and

I won't abandon you, I'll be true, I'll take care of you

​

I read that long ago the ancient myths

thought that all the birds turned into fish

They didn't know that you flew away

when the weather got too cold to stay

Have you seen the Serengetti Plain?

I've heard it's nice in Portugal and Spain, 

They say the weather there is always fine,

but a little hot in summertime

CHORUS

I'll take care of you, like a true friend would do and

I won't abandon you, I'll be true, and I'll take care of you

BRIDGE

It's so nice to make a connection

It's important not to be alone

and I'm more than happy that I met you

'Cause you turn my house into a home

​

Aren't we a right old pair now,

sitting here for over half a year

Winter's gone, springtime's near,

time flew by, goodbyes are here

Won't you come and visit me

when your friends come back from Italy

Tell them now and then you have to go for,

to visit with an old friend you know

CHORUS

I'll take care of you, like a true friend would do and

I won't abandon you, I'll be true, and I'll take care of you
