Verse 1:

B	illy Ray was a preacher's son

And when his d	addy would visit he'd c	ome along

When they'd gather 'round and started talking

A-through the back yard we'd go walking

Then he'd look into my eyes

Lord knows to my surprise

The o	nly one who could ever reach me

Verse 2	:

Being good isn't always easy

He'd come and tell me everything is all right

He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right

Can I get away again tonight

Stealin' kisses from me on the sly

Tellin' me that he's all mine

Look at us here, how much we've grown
