Kingston Trio Little Boy Lyrics

Little Boy Lyrics

Mike Settle



When I was a little boy, my mother said to me, "Watch the new born roses
grow. It's a pretty sight to see.

You, my son, shall blossom as the flower below. I will be your raindrops. You
will be my rose.



Listen while I tell you of the beauty in the sky. There's a home for angels on
the clouds so high.

I must be an angel. In heaven I shall stay. If you ever need me, I'll hear each
word you say."



Now her raindrops fall no more. Who will take her place? Will I live to blossom
full or wither into space?

Many times I wonder on the clouds above is it my dear mother who showers me
with love?



When I was a little boy.
