Sonya Spence No Charge
For nine months I carried you
Growing inside me - no charge
For the nights I've sat up with you
Doctored you, prayed for you - no charge
For the time and the tears
And the cost through the years, there's no charge
When you add it all up
The full cost of my love is no charge
For the nights filled with dread
And the worries ahead - no charge
For advice and the knowledge
And the cost of your college - no charge
For the toys, food and clothes and for wiping your nose
There's NO CHARGE, son
When you add it all up
The full cost of my love, is - charge
Well, when he finished reading
He had great big old tears in his eyes
And he looked up at me and he said
"Mama, I sure do love you."
Then he took the pen
And in great big letters
He wrote: "Paid in full."
When you add it all up
The cost of real love is - no charge
