Testi

He was just a little farm lad so busy at play
In his little playhouse down by the gate
He stopped to watch a truck that was parking next door
At the home of his tiny playmate
Then he saw his daddy watching too
As the man swiftly walked to the cottage door
He knew they were strangers that came from the town
Men he had never seen before
They soon were at their work and he heard his daddy say
"Our neighbors are moving today"
"Oh, no", he cried, "Dear God, don't let it be
They can't take my sweetheart from me"
"I know, dad, that you don't understand
How hearts so young could conceive a plan
I'm only seven now, but it's just like you said
Daddy, someday I'll be a man"
"The man who owns the farm where your playmate now lives
He said it had to be this way
For wintertime has come and their work is all done
And now they are moving away"
"Let us buy the farm so they can stay
Give them all the toys that dear Santa gave
And give them all the pennies in my little piggy bank
Pennies that my darling helped me save"
"I know, dad, that you don't understand
How hearts so young could conceive a plan
I'm only seven now, but it's just like you said
Daddy, someday I'll be a man"
