Please listen darling to my empty prayers Sleep inside my dreams tonight All I need to know tonight are you and my child Oh, is he a soldier or is he a dreamer? Is he mama's little man? Does he help you when he can? Or does he ask about me? Just like a soldier without fighting wars That the world never knows about But I never win them loud There's no crowds around me But when I get to thinking About the old days When love was here to stay I wonder if we'd ever tried Oh, what I'd give to hold him.
