Little boy (Johan Veys voor Lennart)

Little boy, I will take care of you

I would jump in the river if I needed to

When you step into the world outside

Let your good heart always be your guide

Let your good heart always be your guide

Little boy I play and run with you

May you dream and may your dreams come true

I will comfort you and hold you dear

If your heart is wounded, I’ll be near

If your heart is wounded, daddy’s here

Little boy I sing and dance with you

We will dance until the sun gets through

There will be no sunshine every day

Just remember to go your own way

Always try boy to go your own way

When I’m older I’ll come visit you

Me an old man looking up at you

In the evening walking side by side

Then we’ll sit and watch the day go by

Then we’ll sit and watch the sun go down

 Little boy now you may go to sleep

I will dry your tears and I will keep

Away the monsters round your head

While I stay awake beside your bed

While I stay all night beside your bed
