Raising A Child by Yourself Lyrics – Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The

[Aunt Polly]
They don't know Tom. He once put my Sunday clothes on a pig
Raising a child by yourself is a lonely life
You can't run to anyone else when you need advice
You want to say yes and let anything go
But you're the one who has to say know
When you're raising a child by yourself
Raising a child by yourself
Raising a child by yourself

[Judge Thatcher]
Raising a child on your own is twice as hard
You never thought you'd be alone
But here you are
There's so many things you just don' know
But you're the one who says it's so
When you're raising a child by yourself
Raising a child by yourself
Raising a child by yourself

[Aunt Polly]
You don't have to tell me that life isn't fair
So many nights I've said so many prayers

[Judge Thatcher]
But either heaven's not list'ning
[Aunt Polly]
Or heaven don't care
But when I see him smiling at me
I don't really mind

[Judge Thatcher]
No matter how hard it might be
It's worth the time
We're new here in town
It's good to have friends

[Aunt Polly]
Maybe sometime we could talk again

[Both]
Raising a child by yourself
Raising a child by yourself
Raising a child by yourself
