Result of One Night

A cry of Baby wakes the night
The mother comes to set things right
She rocks and she can’t help but stare
recalling why they’re now a pair
The end result of one night stands
did not quite fit into her plans

Naïve pleasure - ‘twas a thoughtless eve
it’s all it took to make him leave
A life now changed, it’s ripped its seams
this ruined all her untold dreams
Recounting what they once had been
She knows they’ll never be again

The baby too will sacrifice
Though not her choice, she’ll pay the price
She’ll miss the father-daughter dance
She’ll find her own kind of romance
Soon growing up without a care
then living life on wings of pray’r

Although they both may not yet know
This chain’s continuing to grow
Babe’s fears from youth will start to rise -
she’s sneaking out and telling lies
There’ll be that night in years or so
She won’t be able to say no
