Lady time, fly away
I've been thinking 'bout my yesterday
Please listen, darling, to my empty prayers
Sleep inside my dreams tonight
All I need to know tonight
Are you and my child?
Is he a soldier or is he a dreamer?
Is he mama's little man?
Does he help you when he can?
Or does he ask about me?
Just like a soldier boy, I've been out fighting wars
That the world never knows about
But I never went that loud
There's no crowd around me
When I get to thinking about the old days
When love was here to stay
I wonder if we'd ever tried
Oh, what I'd give to hold him
To hold him
To hold him
To hold him
To hold him
To hold him
To hold him
