When I grew up to be a man.

And the pain would go away.

Years ago, I knew a boy he was his daddy's pride and joy,
But when the daddy went away it was such a rainy day
That he brought out all his toys.

How the mother did explain, trying to take away the pain,
But he just couldn't understand that his father was not a man
And it all was just a game.

The years have passed and so have I, making it hard for me to cry,
And if and when I have a son let it all be said and done,
Let the sadness pass him by.
