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
