I Care - Tom T. Hall

When the TV won’t work and your toys fall apart

And you have a sad feeling deep in your heart

You wanna go out but it’s rainin’out there I want you to know I care

I care I do there’s no one like you

When they take you some place and you sit in a chair I want you to know I care

When you tell a big lie and your parents’re mean

When being grownup is a faraway dream

When you’re fillin’your teeth and cuttin’your hair I want you to know I care

I care I do there’s no one like you

I mention your name when I’m sayin’my prayers I want you to know I care

When you have a bad cough and you can’t go out

When you sit for a week with that thing in your mouth

When you sleep in the dark and there’s something out there I want you to know I care

I care I do there’s no one like you and sometimes I act like a grouchy old bear

I want you to know I care I love you too much
