Sing Me

I've got some pictures of us
We're all at the shore
I must've been four then
I couldn't have been more
My father was holding me up
Just for show
My mother was posing
Like Marilyn Monroe
They taught me a song that I never forgot
It went
Little things mean a lot
Play me one of the songs
And you take me over the fields and farms
When I was a boy
And life was a joy
I never got over
Sing me one of the songs
And you've got me
Rock me to sleep in your arms
The way you did
When I was a kid
In the summers of clover
Here is another I never did like
When I ran away
On that old broken down bike
A new baby brother
Came home that same day
I guess I just figured
I'd be in the way
You bribed me with marbles and
Chocolate ice cream
And all I have to do is dream
Play me one of the songs
And you take me over the fields and farms
When I was a boy
And life was a joy
I never got over
Sing me one of the songs
And you've got me
Rock me to sleep in your arms
The way you did
When I was a kid
In the summers of clover
