Fantastic Toys And Corduroys

Duncan Sheik


One day maybe 
When I grow up 
A son you will have found 

When I change my ways 
One of these days 
I know I'll make you proud 

What I never say 
Because of busy days 
Is all I want for you 

I'm just not the best 
At being friends 
But that's what we should do 

When I see you happy, 
When you laugh 
I'm never sad 

Fantastic toys 
And corduroys 
Everything you gave 

Took me to school 
I tried to be cool 
And you let me get away with it 

What I want to say 
A thing I pray 
For you to shine inside 

The fighting words 
How they sound absurd 
when it's you who gave me life 

When I see you happy 
When you laugh 
I'm never sad 
I don't want to be sad 
And you shouldn't be sad 
We shouldn't be sad 

What I never say 
Because of busy days 
Is all I want for you 

I want to love 
Like a mother's son 
To always see you through 

When I see you happy 
When you laugh 
I'm never sad 

We shouldn't be sad
