I knew a boy with angel eyes
And he loved and loved
So much he'd cry
Now he wears a suit and tie
And he walks by folks, doesn't spare a dime
He walks by folks doesn't spare a dime
Come back my darling boy
we're waiting for your joy
Come back my darling boy
we're waiting for your joy
I knew a boy who swore he'd try
to raise a smile
far and wide
Now he doesn't have the time
He has a grander road to climb
He has a grander road to climb
What did they do with that boy I knew?
Now he can't see past his cars and booze
To lend a hand
To help the man
Who shines his shoes
There was a boy who I called mine
Said he'd hold my hand
til the end of time
I know he's not too far to find
It isn't time to say goodbye
It isn't time to say goodbye
Come back my darling boy
we're waiting for your joy
Come back my darling boy
I'm waiting for your joy
Come back my darling, darling boy
