My only son, falter none As my mind slips away But I won't forget your name And I won't forget your face Little one, my only son How could a melody Hummed by a memory Die quick So tuned to nothing It hangs oh so empty Not thick How could I lose you When I don't choose to Will it bend, or will it mend? Will it mend, or will it break? But I won't forget your name And I won't forget your face Little one, my only son With stories ever old You told them so they never grow faint They stay as something all together nothing remains How could I lose you When I don't choose to Will it bend, or will it mend? Will it mend, or will it break?
