Let me hold you, my boy

Let me hold you tight

Let me hold you all day

Let me hold you all night.

 
Let me hold you before

You go running around

Before you start walking

And your feet touch the ground.

 
Let me hold you before

You want to go play

For I will miss you so much

When you’re far away.

 
I held you in my womb

You were next to my heart

Giving birth to you

Was being torn apart.

 
When I hold you close

My heart you will hear

I want you in my arms

Forever, my dear.

 
Let me hold you close

Let me hold you tight

You are the only thing I did

That I know was right.
