Little Man
I grew up/ being alone
Had no friends/ not one of my own
I asked Momma when's Daddy coming home
She stood there silent/ tears in her eyes
Memories before he left for the sky
I knew my Daddy wasn't gonna come back home
(PreChorus1)
But everynight before I'd go to sleep
I'd pray a little prayer
And everytime I'd hear my Daddy saying,"Son, don't be scared."
Chorus:
You're gonna be alright
Mind your mom, live life on
I'll be just fine
When you close your eyes
Know that I'm loving you
One day will come
When you'll have a son
Just as wonderful as you
But for now, be proud, cause you're my little man
As years went on / Time flew by
My son grew up/ right before my eyes
He asked me "Daddy, will you always be with me?"
I stood there silent/ tears in my eye
Memories of when he came from the sky
"Son, I'll always be here for you"
(Pre-Chorus2)
I know sometimes he wondered
I know how much he cared
I always told him as much as I could
Son, don't be scared.
Repeat ChorusX1
Interlude
Just as my Dad told me
As I told my son
I heard my little man
tell his little one
Repeat ChorusX1
