My Baby Boy (Lyrics)

(Chorus)

When I close my eyes
It’s you, I can see,
Playing and laughing in the sunshine
Just my baby boy and me.

(Verse 1)

I carried you for nine months
Our souls are as one,
We’re connected by that bond
Not to be taken away by anyone.

(Verse 2)

I held you in my arms
Just after you were born,
I had to give you away
My heart was so torn.

(Chorus)

When I close my eyes
It’s you, I can see,
Playing and laughing in the sunshine
Just my baby boy and me.

(Verse 3)

My soul feels so empty
Nights are filled with loneliness,
I remember the day
That I gave you one last kiss.

(Verse 4)

I had to say goodbye
My eyes were filled with tears,
I’ve thought of you every day
After all of these long years.

(Chorus)

When I close my eyes
It’s you, I can see,
Playing and laughing in the sunshine
Just my baby boy and me.

(Verse 5)

I was sitting in the kitchen
Had pictures of you in front of me,
I have often wondered
If you ever knew about me.

(Verse6)

Then there was a knock at the door
I couldn’t believe my eyes,
It was you, standing before me
I broke down and cried.

(Chorus)

When I close my eyes
It’s you, I can see,
Playing and laughing in the sunshine
Just my baby boy and me.

(Verse 7)

Thinking back to that day
When I was so young,
Having to give you up
My only, newborn son.

(Verse

We sat and talked for a while
Then you had to go,
I whispered in your ear
“There’s something, you should know.”

(Chorus)

When I close my eyes
It’s you, I can see,
Playing and laughing in the sunshine
Just my baby boy and me.
