Little Boy

Am

[Verse]
             D              Am    
When I was a little boy, my mother
         D    Am
 said to me
                   D               
"Watch the newborn roses grow, it's
   Am              D     G
 a pretty sight to see
        Em         D      C      
You, my son, shall blossom as the
          D     G
 flower below
       Bm      C        Am D    
I will be your raindrops  -  you
      Bm    E       Am
 will be my rose

[Verse]
                D              
“Listen while I tell you of the 
 Am            D     Am
beauty in the sky
                    D     Am      
There's a place for angels on the 
          D      G
clouds so high
       Em    D         C         
I must be an angel, in heaven I 
    D      G
will stay
       Bm   C      Am     D     
If you ever need me, I'll hear 
    Bm       E       Am
each word you pray"

[Verse]
                  D           Am  
Now her raindrops fall no more, 
                D       Am
who will take her place?
               D              
Will I live to blossom full or 
 Am          D        G
wither into space?
     Em      D     C              
Many times I wonder on the clouds 
 D      G
above
      Bm      C     Am   D       
Is it my dear mother who showers 
Bm      E        Am
me with love?
