MY DARLING BOY
Music and lyrics © Neil Bastian 2016

My darling boy
At last I’ve met you, you’re my own pride and joy
My dearest, darling boy
The one I cast aside like some broken toy
Don’t cry, my darling boy
I’ll make it up to you, we’ll dine at the Savoy

My darling boy is handsome
My darling boy is sweet
He’ll knock all of the girls – or, all the guys – right off their feet
My darling boy is talented
My darling boy is fine
But I’ve no right to say my darling boy is mine

My only son
How could I give away my own precious one?
It can’t be undone
But maybe we can build on what we’ve just begun
I swear we’ll see the sun
A new relationship, where once, we had none

My darling boy is reeling
My darling boy’s in pain
Can we begin the healing, and chase away the rain?
Somewhere on the horizon
There’ll be happiness ahoy
For you and me, my dearest, darling boy

Yes, somewhere in the distance there'll be
everlasting joy
Oh, please forgive me, my dearest darling boy
