Hey, I just heard about you here today
Don't even know your name
But you will be loved
You will be loved

Ain't ever had to have you on my mind
'Til I wrote this song tonight
Called You Will Be Loved
You will be loved

You had your mama in the kitchen crying
Was the only time I didn't mind seeing her that way
Won't have to worry 'bout a lack of trying
You don't know it now, it's fine
But you will be loved

Well, ain't it looking like a whole new world
Don't matter boy or girl
'Cause you will be loved
You will be loved

And we'll be waiting on you now 'til May
With every prayer I pray, you know
It will be loved
You will be loved

You had your mama in the kitchen crying
Was the only time I didn't mind seeing her that way
You won't have to worry 'bout a lack of trying
You don't know it now, it's fine
But you will be loved
