My little blond haired blue eyed boy One day you'll grow up and be distressed One day you'll grow up and reject everything I've set out for you My only dear long wasteful son One day you'll wonder what you've become One day all this could be yours if You only had the will to outlive Your mother and I Looking in, from the outside Couldn't see it was true Oh my dear, dark child I've been waiting for you Looking in, from the outside Couldn't see it was true You've been given too much time Oh my darling I've been waiting for you Waiting for you Waiting for you Waiting for you Although the news came as no surprise I always hoped I'd never have to bury a child
