WHEN BOYS GROW INTO MEN ©2019 Karel Daniels/Rita Poh

Carpools - Late to school - T Ball after class
If I hear "Gimme" one more time - It's gonna be his last
But then I see how just a hug can give him so much pleasure
I realize ... It's the little things
That I have to treasure

Chorus #1
Cause they won't wait for Santa anymore
Or play with soldiers on the floor
Or ever beg for just one more
When boys grow into men
When boys grow into men

Missed curfews - Weird hairdos - Music way too loud
But then one day he gets an 'A' - Sure makes a parent proud
The time flies by so fast that I can feel my head spin
Gotta slow it down ... Take a look around
These days won't be here again

Chorus #2
Before you know they'll be all grown
Out the door and on their own
You'll be lucky if they ever phone
When boys grow into men
When boys grow into men

Bridge
So grab the camera - Load the car
Take a 3 day break
Cause it all comes down to memories
And how many you can make

repeat Chorus #1 & #2
Cause they won't wait for Santa anymore
Or play with soldiers on the floor
Or ever beg for just one more
When boys grow into men...
Before you know they'll be all grown
Out the door and on their own
You'll be lucky if they ever phone
When boys grow into men
You better believe it
When boys grow into men
You'll still love 'em
When boys grow into men
