The Least I Can Do Lyrics

As you lay still in your bed
I stare at the lines on your face
I think of the stories they tell –
You came such a long way
So let me take your hand in mine
And get you anything you need
Because if we switched places right now
I know you’d do the same for me

You held my very life in your hands
Cradled me in your arms
You taught me how to love without condition
You made me see right from wrong
Now you’re laying helpless in this bed
You say I’ve done enough for you
Well after all you have done
It’s the least I can do

I know I wasn’t easy to raise
I tested you a time or two
But every time I lost my way
You pointed me to the truth
So would you let me read to you a while
Or I can sit quietly by
I’m guessing all you really need to know
Is I’m right here by your side

You held my very life in your hands
Cradled me in your arms
You taught me how to love without condition
You made me see right from wrong
Now you’re laying helpless in this bed
You say I’ve done enough for you
Well after all you have done
It’s the least I can do

You held my very life in your hands
Cradled me in your arms
You taught me how to fight for my convictions
You told me to sing my songs
Now you’re laying helpless in this bed
You say I’ve done enough for you
Well after all you have done
It’s the least I can do

After all that you have done
It’s the least that I can do…
