~<\/p>\n
yes my dear there is nothing to say
\nall the toys broken the children have run
\nwe took the carrot and broke the stick
\nit’s ok the flowers didn’t come
\nthe offer gets us thru another day
\nhonk yer horn if you see Jesus<\/p>\n
you’re kidding i say
\ni see him every day
\nsee those baggy pants and raggedy shoes?
\nby the hundreds, by the thousands
\nthey came
\nand they follow him still<\/p>\n
what’s your trouble old lady old man
\nthere were no good old days
\nthere’s only tomorrow and tomorrow
\nnobody stays forever – ask
\nthe little boy dead in his mother’s arms
\nwhen tomorrow is<\/p>\n
off i am to pillow my head now
\nand pray it goes to sleep
\ncould you sing me a lullaby?<\/p>\n
hush little momma don’t you cry
\nwhen you wake we’ll bake a cake
\nDanny boy’s comin’ home
\nwith the morning sun<\/p>\n
