Goodbye Baby Boy


Though no wings nor halo
I ask not the question why
For I know you are an angel
And it’s time to let you fly

Though you may not understand
Your momma’s life’s changed so
And right now I have no choice
But to let you go

You need to be in someone’s arms
Who can be there night and day
Someone to love you, hug you, kiss you
And take you out to play

I said I’d never leave you
But there is no other way
A broken heart that will never mend
Is a price I’ll have to pay

“I love you more than anything”
Plays back in my head
I miss you lying at my feet
At night when I’m in bed

You’re love was unconditional
Your dedication knew no end
You’re my companion, my confidant
Forever my best friend

I have known a mother’s love
Though some say it isn’t true
I know I could never love a child
Any more than I’ve loved you

Forever at my heart
Lonely strings will tug
For the only man I’ve ever loved
My Baby Boy, My Snuggle Bug
