The Papas - My Silver Son Lyrics

The birds don't sing for you
They've been singing since the day you came, it's true
But you know, that's what they do
So I will sing for you
Anytime you need a melody or tune, oo-oo
Whatever kind of song you might need
Your daddy's got it right up his sleeve

And so my silver son, my only second one
Well who is the man you're gonna become?
With your brother's big blue eyes
And your mother's open smile
You will always find a world that's bright as a silver sun

And time will wait for you
Take as little or as much as you need to
Your smile will see you through
Cos the world that waits for you
Is so full of possibilities, so new
But maybe while you're taking your time
You'll hang around with me for a while

And so my silver son, my only second one
Well who is the man you're gonna become?
With your brother's big blue eyes
And your mother's warm and open smile
You will always find a world that's bright as a silver sun

Keep smiling, keep smiling, keep smiling
Keep smiling my silver son
