how do you tell a small boy? - lance lindsay lyrics
his hair was long and it tumbled down
across his face like a tiny clown
he stared at me with a funny look
as he held on to a comic book
i thought i’d cry, but dads don’t cry!
his words were short with a question why
are you the lost man makes mama cry?
have you come home to be my dad?
maybe now mom won’t be so sad
don’t you know we missed you so?
[chorus]
how do you tell a small boy that you had to go to war?
that you spent most of your time behind a prison door
and that you wanted to be with him most of all
sometimes late at night, you swear that you heard him call
sat on a bench and we talked a lot
’bout his first bike that his mom had bought
his first day at school and his best friend, joe
whose dad first took them to see the snow
how could he know, i couldn’t go?
try to explain the reason why i wasn’t there
but i dared not try
you can’t make up for the time he’s lost
when he needed me
he paid the cost
i wasn’t there * no time to spare
[chorus (repeat)]
son, i’m home now and i plan to stay
your mom, you and i we’re gonna play
win or lose, we’ll be together
from now on, we’ll help each other
it’s o.k. now, go and play
i’ve come home to stay
