Lyrics Little Boy - The Kingston Trio

Little Boy

When I was a little boy, my mother said to me, «Watch the new born roses grow.
It’s a pretty sight to see
You, my son, shall blossom as the flower below.
I will be your raindrops.
You will be my rose
Listen while I tell you of the beauty in the sky.
There’s a home for angels on
the clouds so high
I must be an angel.
In heaven I shall stay.
If you ever need me,
I’ll hear each word you say."
Now her raindrops fall no more.
Who will take her place?
Will I live to blossom
full or wither into space?
Many times I wonder on the clouds above is it my dear mother who showers me
with love?
When I was a little boy
