Tho' he can't forget that awful day it doesn't seem to hurt so bad
But I saw my dad and mommy drive away
But I saw my dad and mommy drive away
And he asked him gently, where do you belong
Now I'm not old enough to know every much myself
When I saw my mom and daddy drive away
I'm not big enough to know just what went wrong
He has a brand new pair of shoes upon his feet
When I saw my mom and daddy drive away
When I saw my mom and daddy drive away
The little boy is happy now with a new mom and dad
His new daddy is the policeman on the beat
I was left on the street with no shoes upon my feet
I was left on the street with no shoes upon my feet
Now I'm not old enough to know every much myself
I was left on the street with no shoes upon my feet
The policeman stopped the traffic, then went up to the boy
The little boy stopped crying and with trembling lips he said
Now I'm not old enough to know every much myself
He saw a little bay crying and thought his heart would break
Standing bare foot in the middle of the street
