Dear Little Boy of Mine Lyrics

(Boy of mine, boy of mine)
(Dear little boy of mine)

Boy of mine, boy of mine
Although my heart was aching
I seem to know that you'd want to go
Pride in your manhood waking

I'll be here, waiting, dear
Till at a glad dawn's breaking
I'll hear you say you're home to stay
Dear little boy of mine (mine)
Dear little boy of mine (dear little boy of mine)

(Boy of mine, boy of mine)
(Although my heart was breaking)
I'll hear you say you're home to stay
Dear little boy of mine (mine)
Dear little boy of mine
(Dear little boy of mine)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
