Please listen, darling, to my empty prayer
Sleep inside my dreams tonight.
All I need to know tonight
How are you and my child?

Oh is he a soldier or is he a dreamer?
Is he mama's little man?
Does he help you when he can?
Does he ask about me?

Just like a soldier and I fight in wars
That the world never knows about
But I never win them loud
There's no crowds around me

But I get to thinking about the old days
When love was here to stay
I wonder if we'd ever tried
Oh what I'd give to hold him
