Through the hard times of my life You came to me And you said that you'd be there You reached out your hand and said come on I remember times when I I didn't want to be You congratulated me For being strong and hangin' on ♪ You brought me happiness And taught me how to sing You have given me my wings And now I'd like to offer you This mandolin that's been in my family It's been around since '33 or '32 ♪ Now I know you need a lady and I want to see I want to see you with someone Who will love you strong and let you be
And in the morning when she comes to you She'll bring to you A fresh papaya with mint tea Scrambled eggs, and cherries jubilee ♪ You brought me happiness And taught me how to sing You have given me my wings And now I'd like to offer you A friendly call when you're down and feeling blue You know what I'd like to do is offer me to you ♪ You know I love you like my brother And I want to be I want to be your special friend I want to know you when we're 93 You brought me happiness And taught me how to sing You have given me my wings And now I'd like to offer you Some scrambled eggs and some cherries jubilee You know where I'd like to be is home with you Home with you Home with you
