Little boy, little boy
Joseph m . Novo 1951
Little boy, little boy
what do you see
that I cannot
Little boy, little boy
what do you hear
that I cannot
Little boy, little boy
what do you feel
that I cannot
Little boy, little boy
wise beyond your years
which I an not
Little boy, little boy
you are the gift
most precious and dear
Little boy, little boy,
thank you so much
for just being you
