"My Boy" lyrics

You don't even know my name but I pray for you the same
And I'll see you in the short coming days
I'll stand by you when I'm tired and I'll hold you all the while
And I'll love you like a stranger loves a smile

Now thinking 'bout my life and the things that I've done right
Like how it makes me feel to call you mine
Oh and when I close my eyes, I lose track of time
'Cause 40 felt way farther in my mind

It's a funny thing now, these feelings that I've got
These feelings that I've not felt before
It's the little things I, that I tend to love the most
I'll begin to love the most about you
My boy

I'll think about the things you'll do and your momma does too
Oh I hope you got her eyes and her soul too
So when you need me I'll be there when you need a little care
I'll be your rock to steady on, boy I swear

It's a funny thing now, these feelings that I've got
These feelings that I've not felt before
It's the little things I, that I tend to love the most
I'll begin to love the most about you
My boy

If you were to ask me how I felt, I'd say I'm still a kid myself
That I'm learning right and wrong and nothing else
But I'm thankful to the Lord, that I know what I'm here for
When it comes to lovin' you, of that I'm sure
My boy
