When my boy calls his friends

When my boy calls his friends
Makes me feel a little proud
So my mind starts to bend
To that time when he'll step into the world
And it makes me feel a little sad

Has he got my eyes
Has he got my ways
Has he got the crazy like his dad

When he goes away
Will I be as brave
As when I saw him come into the world

Oh - there's no way
I can make him stay

He has to go
Go his own way

Any way

When my boy calls himself
It makes me feel so left out
And one day he'll go into the world
At least he has good friends
At least he has good friends

When my boy taught himself
He would play - I would listen - and be proud
But a sadness - came creeping over me
That one day - he'll be gone

And I'll be here and he'll be gone
Then he'll be here when I am gone
