Please listen, darling, to my empty prayer Sleep inside my dreams tonight All I need to know tonight How are you and my child? Oh is he a soldier or is he a dreamer? Is he mama's little man? Does he help you when he can? Does he ask about me? Just like a soldier and I fight in wars That the world never knows about But I never win them loud There's no crowds around me But I get to thinking about the old days When love was here to stay I wonder if we'd ever tried Oh what I'd give to hold him
