(Lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals & Dash Crofts, 1970)
|
I'm a man who has lived my life alone.
|
In seclusion, confusion, I'm dying, all I wanted was a son.
|
I would take him on my knee, hold him close to me.
|
Provide protection, direction, I'd love him, all I wanted was a son.
|
|
Well I'd take him to the zoo to see the animals.
|
And I'd buy him lollipops in Summertime.
|
And I'd make him paper airplanes, take him to the movies
|
And give him a quarter when he asked for a dime.
|
|
I'm a man who has dreamed my whole life away
|
The day she left me only kept me
|
From giving something living
|
For the world to remember me.
