New Mother/Son Song – My Little Boy
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009Nashville songwriters Jan Linville and Dave Tough wrote a wonderful song that can be played during the Mother/Son dance at your wedding. It’s called My Little Boy.
They sent us an .mp3 of the song to pass along to those who are interested. Contact us at weddings@southerneventplanners.com if you would like a copy of the song.
Here are the lyrics:
My Little Boy © 2008
Tough/Linville
The moment he was born
I held him in my arms
And fell in love when he looked up at me
Barely three years old
He’d crawl into my bed
And I’d dry his tears from a scary dream
Lunch box in hand, he climbed up on that bus
Heading off to first grade, looking so grown up
The day had finally come
To send him on his way
Tears of sadness – tears of joy
No words can describe
The way I felt inside
He’ll always be
My little boy
In sixth grade he got glasses
And braces on his teeth
Saved up for his first guitar and pitched for little league
He passed driver’s ed
And when he turned 16
Worked hard at his first job and aced his ACTs
When I took him to college, he hugged me ‘goodbye’
I saw the last eighteen years, flash before my eyes
The day had finally come
To send him on his way
Tears of sadness – tears of joy
No words can describe
The way I felt inside
He’ll always be
My little boy
Dressed in black ‘n white
A tall and handsome man
Our family and our friends are gathered ’round
He kisses the bride
They cut the cake, we throw the rice
Their lives have just begun
I’m so proud that he’s my son
The day has finally come
To send him on his way
Tears of sadness – tears of joy
No words can describe
The way I feel inside
He’ll always be
My little boy
