My Little Man
Don't you know I love you more than life itself,
Don't you know that you're my pride
And I would not have you walking through this world.
Without me by your side
Go to sleep my little man
Don't you weep my little man
I'd like to keep you with me all your life,
But I know I can't do that
So I must try to teach you wrong from right,
To keep the vulture from your back
Go to sleep my little man
Don't you weep my little man
And when you're dreaming you can talk to angels,
So wipe the tears from your eyes
And if there's demons that try to steal you breath away.
You can't believe that, know my spirit will be standing by your side
You saved me, you gave me, the greatest gift of all
Believe me, believe, there ain't no mountain that's too tall
I will gladly carry your cross for you,
To take your pain away
But what I can't carry is my love for you,
Beyond my dying day
So be strong my little man
When I'm gone my little man
You got to be my little man
So don't you weep my little man
Go to sleep my little man
Don't you weep my little man
You got to be my little man
So don't you weep my little man
