My Little Man lyrics

Don`t you know I love you more than life itself
Don`t you know that you`re my pride
And I would not have you walking through this world,
Without me by your side

Go to sleep my little man
Don`t you weep my little man


I`d like to keep you with me all your life,
But I know I can`t do that
So I must try to teach you wrong from right,
To keep the vulture from your back

Go to sleep my little man
Don`t you weep my little man
And when you`re dreaming
You can talk to angels
So wipe the tears from your eyes
And if there`s demons
That try to steal your breath away,
You can`t believe that,
Know my spirit will be standing by your side

You saved me,
You gave me,
The greatest gift of all
Believe me,
Believe me,
There ain`t no mountain that`s too tall

I will gladly carry your cross for you,
To take your pain away,
But what I can`t carry is my love for you,
Beyond my dying day
So be strong my little man
When I`m gone my little man
You got to be my little man
So don`t you weep my little man
Go to sleep my little man
Don`t you weep my little man
You got to be my little man
So don`t you weep my little man
