For Your Babies, originally by Simply Red (or rather, Mick Hucknall), this version is by Olivia Ong. Really prefer Olivia's version - music is wonderfully light and suits her voice perfectly. Seraphim (now known as One-note-Samba) is right - this is one of the best songs out of her 3 albums, even if it's only a cover. This song was originally written from a man's point of view so it might be a little weird to hear a girl singing these lyrics but the music's the focus here, not exactly the lyrics. Hope you will enjoy it.

For Your Babies
by Olivia Ong

You've got that look again
The one I hoped I had when I was a lad
Your face is just beaming
Your smile got me boasting, my pulse roller-coastering
Anyway the four winds that blow
They're gonna send me sailing home to you
Or I'll fly with the force of a rainbow
The dream of gold will be waiting in your eyes

You know I'd do most anything you want
Hey I, I try to give you everything you need
I can see that it gets to you

I don't believe in many things
But in you
I do

Her faith is amazing
The pain that she goes through contained in the hope for you
Your whole world has changed
The years spent before seem more cloudy than blue
In many ways your baby's controlling
When you haven't laid down for days
For the poor no time to be thinking
They're too busy finding ways
You know I'd do most anything you want
Hey I, I try to give you everything you need
I'll see that it gets to you

I don't believe in many things
But in you
I do

You know I'd do most anything you want
Everyday I, I try to give you everything you need
We'll always be there for you

I don't believe in many things
But in you
I do
