Farley's Boy
(lyrics & music Stacey Farley -© 1998)

My boy, my son
My moon, my star
My love, my light of the day

My thoughts, my words,
My love, my life
You take my breath away

Each step you take
You take from me
Each time you walk away
You walk on toward your life, my son
Your star, your moon, your day

'Tis right, my son
To go, I know
Be strong, be wise, be true

Be kind, my son
Be love’s own hand
As I have loved you, do

As days grow old
Give what you can
To yours, your own sweet dove
Remember this, my son
My boy, life’s only worth
Is love.

Be kind, my son
Betroth, my son
Go on, Become a man
As I have loved you
Love your own,
Love them best you can.
