It's time for all good little boys to go to sleep
Let's say our prayers, thank the Lord my soul to keep
Run to the bedroom and I'll tuck you into bed
Read you a story then I'll kiss your sleepy head
Someday I'll have to tell you the reason we live alone
You may not have a father but you've got a home

And when you walk in the fires to keep you warm
Stay home from school then keep you sheltered from the storm
Someday we'll have a little cottage by the sea
And watch the sunrise on the seashore you and me
Someday I'll have to tell you the reason we live alone
You may not have a father but you've got a home

Come to the window, hold your breath and take a peek
Enjoy the silence, it's been snowing for a week
But in the house I'm giving love to keep you warm
I didn't plan it but I'm glad that you were born
I find it so amazing how quickly that you have grown
You may not have a father but you've got a home

It's time for all good little boys to go to sleep
Let's say our prayers, thank the Lord my soul to keep
Run to the bedroom and I'll tuck you into bed
Read you a story then I'll kiss your sleepy head
Someday I'll have to tell you the reason we live alone
You may not have a father but you've got a home
