Lyrics He's My Boy - Original West End Cast of Everybody's Talking About Jamie, Josie Walker, Everybody's Talking About Jamie

He's My Boy

The cold empty mornings
The coffee cup warnings
Remembering the spark
That lived in a love
That died in the dark
But life keeps you guessing
Along came a blessing
My world was awake
My precious surprise
My perfect mistake
And maybe he’ll break my heart
'Cause he’ll take my heart when he goes
I’m dreading the day when he just walks away
He’s my boy
He drives me insane
He’s my boy
My pleasure, my pain
He’s my boy
Believe me, he don’t make it easy
He’d own me until he’s outgrown me
But still, he’s my boy
He’s my boy
From the moment I saw him
No man came before him
He taught me to fight
To knock back the black
To let in the light
And maybe he’ll break my heart
'Cause he’ll take my heart
When he goes
It’s cruel that he can but that’s just like a man
He’s my boy
My blessing, my curse
He’s my boy
For better, for worse
He’s my boy
Believe me, he don’t make it easy
He needs me, fulfills me
Then bleeds me but still, he’s my boy
He’s my boy
And don’t tell me I’m fooling myself
Fooling again
'Cause I know the path
I know the price
And I know the man
And I know the bright lights are going to tend him to stray
But I’ll trade my tomorrows
To have him today
Today
Today
He’s my-
He’s my-
He’s my-
He’s my boy
And boys always grow
He’s my boy
And boys always go
He’s my boy
He’s blinded and so floating minded
He’s clueless and clever
Confusing, whatever
But oh boy
He’s my voice
He’s my chance
He’s my smile
He’s my day
He’s my life
He’s my pain
He’s my joy
He’s my baby
He’s my man
He’s my boy
