Verse 1:         When I asked you to come check out my show,

You weren’t quite sure that you wanted to go.

No you didn’t think I could sing like I could ...

I told you I was good.

 

 

Verse 2:         When I took you on our very first date,

Your daddy said not to keep you too late.

So I had you back when I promised I would ...

I told you I was good.

I told you I was good.

 

 

Chorus:          Now when our friends say what a treasure I found—

A tribute to love and motherhood—

I always say thank you, yes I picked her out myself ...

I told you I was good.

I told you I was good.

 

 

Verse 3:         When our first-born took that walk down the aisle,

                        We sent her off in comfort and style.

                        Then you held me tight, kept me steady as we stood ...

                                    I told you I was good.

 

 

            (Brief instrumental interlude)

 

 

Verse 4:         When the time came, one night you slipped away,

                        Leaving me here where I struggle each day.

                        But remember I said I’d be there when I could ...

                                    I told you I was good.

I told you I was good.
