He was my mother's biggest fan
We used to walk beside the sea
And he told me how 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
How the momma did explain
Trying 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
Years have passed and so have I
Making it hard for me to cry
And if and when I have a son
Let it all be said and done
Let the sadness pass him by
Years ago I knew a man He was my mother's biggest fan We used to walk beside the sea And he told me how 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 How the momma did explain Trying 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 Years have passed and so have I Making it hard for me to cry And if and when I have a son Let it all be said and done Let the sadness pass him by Explain Request ×
