Dolly Parton has always been about the welfare of children, and that much is evidenced in the 1993 song “What Will Baby Be”. Maura O’Connell provides the backing vocals on this song. That voice paired with Parton’s lilting vocals and tender guitar-strumming results in a beautifully cohesive piece of work.
Lyrics
A young couple marries, already fighting Along comes baby makin’ them three Trouble’s all he hears from the time he’s in didies Baby don’t know just what to believe
Angry words and spiteful actions Baby’s gonna cut his teeth on these If that’s gonna be the main attraction What will the baby be, what will baby be
Baby needs love and needs direction Baby’s first school is the family For they are only a reflection Of the things they see, what will baby be
What will baby be after baby is grown What will baby do if baby don’t know what’s right or wrong Got to show them love, got to teach them truth ‘Cause what baby is when baby grows up Well, that depends entirely on me and you Depends entirely on me and you
Baby thinks God is just a curse word Never said a prayer ’cause he’s never been taught They remember and repeat what they’ve heard So I ask who’s really at fault
So many questions, so few answers So many lessons we don’t teach Stumbling through like clumsy dancers What will baby be, what will baby be
What will baby be after baby is grown What will baby do when baby is out there on his own Teach the children how to be all they should be ‘Cause what baby is when baby grows up Depends entirely on you and me Depends entirely on you and me What will baby be
I heard that you’re settled down That you found a girl and you’re married now I heard that your dreams came true Guess she gave you things, I didn’t give to you Old friend, why are you so shy? Ain’t like you to hold back or hide from the light
I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited But I couldn’t stay away, I couldn’t fight it I had hoped you’d see my face And that you’d be reminded that for me, it isn’t over
Never mind, I’ll find someone like you I wish nothing but the best for you, too “Don’t forget me, ” I beg I remember you said “Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead” “Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead”
You know how the time flies Only yesterday was the time of our lives We were born and raised in a summer haze Bound by the surprise of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited But I couldn’t stay away, I couldn’t fight it I had hoped you’d see my face And that you’d be reminded that for me, it isn’t over
Never mind, I’ll find someone like you I wish nothing but the best for you, too “Don’t forget me, ” I begged I remember you said “Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead”
Nothing compares, no worries or cares Regrets and mistakes, they’re memories made Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Never mind, I’ll find someone like you I wish nothing but the best for you “Don’t forget me, ” I beg I remember you said “Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead”
Never mind, I’ll find someone like you I wish nothing but the best for you, too “Don’t forget me, ” I begged I remember you said “Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead” “Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead”
We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of the legendary Edna O’Brien, a beacon in Irish literature whose voice resonated with truth, courage, and unyielding passion. Her profound contributions to the literary world have left an indelible mark, inspiring generations of writers, poets and readers alike.19h

Lyrics
I have seen, seen it all in paper dreams Watched it all full on the screen But never understood I have heard, have heard you speak a million words Now you’re talking to me first Never thought you would
Oh, my, my, you just took me by surprise And I can’t believe my eyes Oh, I must be seeing blind Oh no, my, you are too good to be all mine Now I’m looking in your eyes Oh, I must be seeing blind
I was young, my heart was always on the run But you made lovin’ fun I never knew it could be, ey I see you from a different point of view Feel it’s too good to be true I found my missing piece
Oh, my, my, you just took me by surprise And I can’t believe my eyes Oh, I must be seeing blind Oh no, my, you are too good to be all mine Now I’m looking in your eyes Oh, I must be seeing blind Oh, no
Oh, my, my When I look into your eyes It’s a sight I can’t describe Oh, I must be seeing blind
Oh, my, my, you just took me by surprise And I can’t believe my eyes Oh, I must be seeing blind Oh no, my, you are too good to be all mine Now I’m looking in your eyes Oh, I must be seeing blind Oh, I must be seeing blind
