A mothers tears are for the boy Who soon will be a man the boy she held And cradled through the years But if a child could stay a child forever No one would ever see a mother’s tears A little boy will grow and then one day he’ll go away And when he leaves her whole world disappears But if a child could stay a child forever No one would ever see a mother’s tears Lalalalala A mother's tears are for the boy Who soon will be a man the boy she held And cradled through the years But if a child could stay a child forever No one would ever see a mother’s tears No one would ever see a mother’s tears
