Lyrics

My Boy

Why are you growin' up so fast My boy? Oh, you'd better take your time. Why are you growin' up so fast My son? Almost time to live your dream My boy. Oh, you'd better take your time. Almost time to make some plans My son. Vacation gone, school is out, Summer ends year in year out. Oh, you'd better take your time My boy. I thought we had just begun. Why are you growin' up so fast My son? Vacation gone, school is out, Summer ends year in year out. Why are you growin' up so fast My boy? Why are you growin' up so fast My son?
