Years ago |
|
I knew a man |
|
He was my mother's biggest fan |
|
We used to walk beside the sea |
|
And he'd tell me how my life would be |
|
When I grew up to be a man |
|
Years ago we used to play |
|
He used to laugh when |
|
I ran away |
|
But when I fell and hurt my knee |
|
He would run to comfort me |
|
And the pain would go away |
|
Years ago |
|
I knew a boy |
|
He was his daddy's pride and joy |
|
But when the daddy went away |
|
It was such a rainy day |
|
That he brought out all his toys |
|
Now the momma did explain |
|
Tryin' to take away the pain |
|
But he just couldn't understand |
|
That his father was not a man |
|
And it all was just a game |
|
The years have passed and so have |
|
IMakin' it hard for me to cry |
|
And if and when, |
|
I have a son |
|
Let it all be said and done |
|
Let that sadness pass him by |
