Story behind the song

It's a personal thing for every man to go through a marriage break-up. There are many broken pieces left behind and the kids are just one of them. Here a man mourns that loss of a special child.

Lyrics

Go To Sleep my Little Son

Go to sleep my little son and dream of things and toys
And I will pray for you while I'm away
Your too young my little man but try to understand
Why daddy had to go don't shed a tear

Little boy answers:
I can't sleep dear old dad cause I feel so sad
It's hard for me to tell what's wrong or right
I kneel down by my bedside say a prayer every night
And wish that God will help along the way

Verse:
In the springtime of our years we laughed and were so near
But I have reaped the seeds that I have sown
Now in the yard I see a man walking hand in hand
With a boy like we used to you and me

Now it's the autumn of my years and I dream of days gone by
And I wonder just how your moma's doin
She's as pretty as before dad  Oh. I 'd love to see once more
Before the years have turned my hair to snow

Chorus: end
