It’s time for all good little boys to go to sleep
Let’s say our prayer, beg 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 wake, I’ll build a fire to keep you warm
Stay home from school; thank God we’re sheltered from the storm
Someday we’ll have a little cottage by the sea
And watch the sunrise from the seashore, you and me

Someday I’ll have to tell you why I’ve chosen to 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 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 prayer, beg 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
