Little boy you seem to wake up earlier every morning
Come running from your bed to greet the day
With a pair of sleepy eyes that could have slept a little l onger
And a thousand urgent things you have to say.
And the morning passes quickly in the springtime
and the springtime brings such fascinating games
Puppy dogs and chocolate frogs and fishing lines
and pretending that you didn't hear your mommy call your name.
Shaney Boy your lunch is growing cold here on the table
and you have to eat these things to make you grow
and I know you're only scared that you'll be missing out on something
but even busy people have to eat you know.
And the afternoon goes quickly when there's good times
and there's good times in the garden every day
Little friendly butterflies that flutter by
and a little friend to help you chase those butterflies away.
Shaney Boy those eyes of yours are looking kind of drowsy
and I know you never want the day to end
but just think if you close your eyes and lie back on your pillow
Wont be long before the mornings here again.
And the Morning passes quickly in our lifetime
and before you even notice that its gone.
So little boy I'm noticing the nice times now
Cos I know that little boys don't stay little boys for long
