Lady time fly away

I've been thinking 'bout my yesterday

Oh, please listen darlin' to my empty prayers

Sleep inside my dreams tonight

All I need to know tonight are you and my child



Oh, 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 been out fighting wars

That the world never knows about

But I never win them loud

There's no crowds around me



But when I get to thinkin'

'Bout the old days

When love was here to stay

I wonder if we'd ever tried

Oh, what I'd give to hold him.
