I'm Your Ria

(V1)
I held you in my arms
As if you were my own
I sang to you at night
So you wouldn’t feel alone
I taught you how to read
Made sure you were fed
Lay out your school clothes
Looked for monsters in your bed
(C1)
I was your “Ria”
When times were tough
I’ll always love you
Can never say it enough
I am your “Ria”
I’ll be there for you
When ever there’s a problem
There’s nothing I won’t do
(V2)
I wiped away your tears
When you fell and got hurt
I put you in time out
When you got a little curt
In the blink of an eye
It seems you’ve grown
I saw you graduate
And move out on your own
(C1)
I was your “Ria”
When times were tough
I’ll always love you
Can never say it enough
I am your “Ria”
I’ll be there for you
When ever there’s a problem
There’s nothing I won’t do
(B)
I watched you get married
And cried just like Mom
I felt an incredible loss
But also a peaceful calm
You’ll always be my baby brother
No matter how old you get
With all the years we shared
I know you won’t forget
(C2)
I’ll always be your “Ria”
When times get tough
I’ll always love you
Can never say it enough
I am your “Ria”
I’ll be there for you
When ever there’s a problem
There’s nothing I won’t do
(T)
Cause I’m your “Ria”, I’ll always be your “Ria”
