I got those years away
That little child came adrift
Smiling face was as a gift
Opening door today

You’ve seen me getting old
These years I’ve not sold
You’ve got more than this time
This mountain you could climb

You gave faith, gave love and gave joy
Now I see how much that little boy
Grow strong and wise
Now I see how much I have learned
When I saw your brown eyes
Crossing those bridges I burned

Reno‘s snow embraces you
Dandelion opens the door to you
Where you’re getting to be champion
To roar so strong as a lion

I’ll be here with white hair
Waiting for your smiling face
And I will take care
Of that little boy and grace


Oh my little boy
You have my heart in your hand
You taught me ‘bout joy
Maybe when I could pass away
I’m sure I will live in each of your day
Life is so short you must understand
