My Boy

You catch my eye, Boy
And then I catch my breath
My heart stops for you, Boy
I’m sure you’ll be my death

I love your bright blue eyes, Boy
They shine like fallen stars
They take me to faraway lands, Boy
Lands both near and far

Your voice is so dang gentle, Boy
Your words, they sooth my soul
Your love is beautifully subtle, Boy
It soon shall take its toll

Your arms, they are my fortress, Boy
They protect me from the hurt
Your shoulder is my pillow, Boy
As I lean here on your shirt

But this is just a dream, Boy
I’m sad to say it’s so
And as you know so well, Boy
All good things come and go…
