He's My Boy

The cold empty mornings

The coffee cup warnings

Remembering the spark

That lived in a love

That died in the dark

But life keeps you guessing

Along came a blessing

My world was awake

My precious surprise

My perfect mistake

And maybe he'll break my heart

'Cause he'll take my heart when he goes

I'm dreading the day when he just walks away

He's my boy

He drives me insane

He's my boy

My pleasure, my pain

He's my boy

Believe me, he don't make it easy

He'd own me until he's outgrown me

But still, he's my boy

He's my boy

♪

From the moment I saw him

No man came before him

He taught me to fight

To knock back the black

To let in the light

And maybe he'll break my heart

'Cause he'll take my heart

When he goes

It's cruel that he can, but that's just like a man

He's my boy, my blessing, my curse

He's my boy, for better, for worse

He's my boy

Believe me, he don't make it easy

He needs me, fulfils me

Then bleeds me but still, he's my boy

He's my boy

And don't tell me I'm fooling myself

Fooling again

'Cause I know the path

I know the price

And I know the man

And I know the bright lights

Are going to tempt him to stray

But I'll trade my tomorrows

To have him today

Today, today

He's my-

He's my-

He's my-

He's my boy and boys always grow

He's my boy and boys always go

He's my boy

He's blinded and so floating minded

He's clueless and clever, confusing, whatever

But oh boy

♪

He's my voice

He's my chance

He's my smile

He's my day

He's my life

He's my pain

He's my joy

♪

He's my baby

He's my babe

He's my boy
