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
