Artist/Band: Jan Howard
Lyrics for Song: My Son
Lyrics for Album: Rock Me Back to Little Rock [Hilltop] [1976]



(Jan Howard)



My son, my son, I pray that you'll come home

To me, my son, my son.



It seems only yesterday

The most important thing on your mind

Was whether you'd make the baseball team

Or get the new school jacket like all the other kids had.



And I remember how your eyes lighted up

When you got your first rod and reel

For that big fishing trip just you and your dad

And I remember wiping the tears away

When you hurt yourself on your sled.



In those days it seems the house

Was filled with laughter and joy

Filled with your friends

And they were all such good boys.



And then came the day that you walked down the aisle

To receive that all important diploma

I was so proud but I couldn't believe

That tall young man was, my son, my wonderful son.



And then I remember the little girl

that was always around kinda tagging after you

She's not so little anymore but she's still around

Who knows maybe someday.



Then you received the call

That I guess we knew would come someday

But it came so quick and now you're so very far away

In the land that until a short time ago I didn't even know was there.



I know the time will pass you'll be home again

But until that time my darling take care take special care

My son, my son, I pray that you'll come home

To me, my son, my son...
