Marvin's Song

From the moment you could talk
All the people said, "Listen"
It's so funny how the things will often change
From the moment you could talk
Oh, they told you, "Please wait, boy"
It's so funny how the things will often change

But whatever they tell you
And whatever they say
I will always be your best friend
I promise come what may

Marvin, life is harder than it seems
Marvin, never grow too old to dream
Marvin, oh, I swear you'll always be my son
Every time, every moment
And whatever you have done

From the moment you could smile
Thousand times I saw you crying
It's so funny how the things will often change
From the moment, you would try
Oh, they want you as a soldier
It's so funny how the things will often change

Oh, if time could turn backwards
I would never leave again
Someday we'll be together
Always be a friend

Marvin, life is harder than it seems
Marvin, never grow too old to dream
Marvin, oh, I swear you'll always be my son
Every time and every moment
And whatever you have done

Marvin, but I swear you'll always be my son
Every time and every moment
And whatever, baby, you have done
