From the recording Swing
A teenage girl becomes pregnant and her daddy is livid. They both stay angry with one another for a while but love prevails with a little time.

Love and Time - Anne E. DeChant © 2010
There was nothing typical ‘bout Becky
Tough talking tatooed wild and pretty
Looking for a good time wherever she’d go
‘Till one of her good times started to show
Her daddy said girl you done it now
He slammed the door when he walked out
Mama saw the tears fill her eyes
Said you know daddy loves you it’ll be all right
Just give him time and let love change his mind
You’re gonna see it’ll all come together
Ain’t no nothing that we can’t weather
With love and a little time
Becky made a choice to tough it out
She was the biggest news in that little town
And whispers in the classroom can be so cruel
But she carried her baby and finished school
She hadn’t talked to daddy since the night
She broke the news and they had their fight
She said he never should have walked away
Mama said you know you love him it’ll be ok
Just give him time and let love change your mind
You’re gonna see it’ll all come together
Ain’t no nothing that we can’t weather
With love and a little time
A year later Becky’s baby boy
Was standing in the yard
She watched his tiny feet take their firs steps
Right into grandpa’s arms
Just give it time and let love change your mind
You’re gonna see it’ll all come together
Ain’t no nothing that we can’t weather
With love and a little time
