“Honey, will you tell him Bible stories And give him all the love I never could? And never tell him too much 'bout his daddy 'Cause there's not too much to say that's good He'll have to learn it all from his mother How to count and say his A-B-C's But when you teach him prayers to say at bedtime…” quote by Statler Brothers
