Lyrics
A Song for Sam
by John O'Connell
3.03min
A busy day, things to do.
Games to play, lots to learn.
Within that time, I get to know,
The little boy who's come to grow.
Years gone by but still I
See the same boy
That I remember when you came in to this world Sam
And I held you, and prayed for you.
A soldier boy, my tiny Tim.
I watch you play, from day to day
With coloured cranes, electric trains
And take a truck to Trumpton town.
And leave me where I'm standing
But I'll be watching you
In case you need me, if you wander from my side Sam
Then I will come for you, and I'll pray for you.
Behind the eyes, within your thoughts
I watch you gaze, beyond the clouds.
You drift into another world
And then return, with unconcern.
Sam you know I love you
More than life itself
And I'll always be your friend if you should need me.
Then I'll be there for you,
And I'll pray for you.
