Don't you know I love you more than life itself. Don't you know that you're my pride. And I would not have you walking through this world. Without me by your side. Go to sleep my little man. Don't you weep my little man. I'd like to keep you with me all your life. But I know I can't do that. So I must try to teach you wrong from right. To keep the vulture from your back. Go to sleep my little man. Don't you weep my little man. And when you're dreaming. You can talk to angels. So wipe the tears from your eyes. And if there's demons. That try to steal your breath away. You can't believe that. Know my spirit will be standing by your side. You saved me. You gave me. The greatest gift of all. Believe me. Believe me. There ain't no mountain that's too tall. I will gladly carry your cross for you. To take your pain away. But what I can't carry is my love for you. Beyond my dying day. So be strong my little man. When I'm gone my little man. You got to be my little man. So don't you weep my little man. Go to sleep my little man. Don't you weep my little man. You got to be my little man. So don't you weep my little man
