Little boy's toys are layin' on the floor A waitin' for that little boy who don't live here anymore Old dusty rockin' horse he looks so lonesome too Waitin' in a nursery all faded in blue
Yesterday little boy was playin' on the floor With little tin soldiers in a make believe war Today I saw a big man walk out the door In a uniform now the little boy don't live here anymore anymore
Just like the old oak tree where the little boy used to play It has to grow much higher and its leaves must fade away And life must go on in peace and in war God watch the little boy he don't live here anymore anymore
