One summertime
In the motherland
We were walking by the water
Out on the strand
Wish that I could have those days back again
We were together almost all the time
And now you are a full grown woman
Pretty soon I'll have to give you to someone
When on his knee
He asks for the hand
That at one time was only mine
I'll be there if you are calling
You're the guest here and I'm the host
I remember when you saw me
Oh I must have looked like a ghost
But that was back when I was falling
And I wasn't in my right mind
Now I'm right here for you
Call me anytime
One Saint Patrick's Day in the afternoon
How my heart nearly burst when I saw you
You didn't say it but you knew the truth
And I could see it on your little mind
And now you are a kind young boy
Always breaking out a smile and spreading joy
How could I ever be annoyed
When you're laughing almost all the time
I'll be there if you are calling
You're the guest here and I'm the host
I remember when you saw me
I must have looked like a ghost
But that was back when I was falling
And I wasn't in my right mind
Now I'm right here for you
Call me anytime
Sol I remember on the day you came
I knew that things would just never be the same again
You had my eyes but they held no blame
There's no other feeling to compare
Then the nurse came and whisked you away
And you were howling like the wind through a broken pane
But you stopped crying when I spoke your name
Cause you knew that I was really there
I'll be there if you are calling
You're the guest here and I'm the host
I remember when you saw me
Oh I must have looked like a ghost
Cause that was back when I was falling
And I wasn't in my right mind
Now I'm right here for you
Call me anytime
