I close my eyes and dream, of a world so bright
Where little footsteps echo, in the morning light
A tiny hand in mine, a smile so sweet
The pitter-patter of his feet
But in the silence, I feel the ache
Of dreams unfulfilled, a heart that breaks
A mother's love, I yearn to give
In a life I'm longing to live
Oh, what a joy it would be
To see my little boy running free
His laughter in the air, his light in my heart
But some dreams, they tear us apart
I see him in my mind, his eyes so bright
A beacon of hope, in the darkest night
Every giggle, every tear, every precious moment
A love so deep, so fervent
Yet here I stand, with empty arms
Wishing for the warmth, of his little charms
A silent cradle, a quiet room
A heart wrapped in eternal gloom
Oh, what a joy it would be
To see my little boy running free
His laughter in the air, his light in my heart
But some dreams, they tear us apart
In every star, I see his face
In every dream, I find a trace
Of the child I'll never hold
A story left untold
Oh, what a joy it would be
To see my little boy running free
His laughter in the air, his light in my heart
But some dreams, they tear us apart
So I'll hold onto hope, and cherish the dream
In a world where things aren't always as they seem
For in my heart, he'll always stay
My little boy, in some faraway
