Dear Little Boy of Mine by Carroll C. Clark Lyrics

[Verse]
Oft when I'm lonely my memory swings
Back to your baby days
Feeling the joy that a baby brings
Out of God's wond'rous ways
Seeming to hear the first pray'r that you said
Longing to tuck you in bed
There's no one knows how I long for you now
Here with my arms outspread

[Chorus]
Boy of mine, boy of mine
Although my heart was breaking
I seemed to know you'd want to go
Pride in your manhood waking
I'll be here, waiting, dear
Till at a glad dawn's breaking
I'll hear you say you're home to stay
Dear little boy of mine
Dear little boy of mine
