I Will

What can you tell me, boy About my daydreams? What can you tell me About my youth? I'll tell you only That time is precious I'll show you sunbeams I'll sing you truth Have I forgotten then The days of magic? Cast off down memory's Meandering track? You'll not forget them You may regret them Hear me and let them Come flooding back What can you give me, boy To make me peaceful? What can you give me, boy To bring me calm? I'll give you bright eyes With each day dawning I'll give you laughter I'll give you charm What can you teach me, boy About affection? What can you teach me, boy About romance? Only that love comes Where least we seek it And knows its moment And takes its chance What can you tell me, boy About the future? What can you show me Of things to be? I'll show you soft light I'll show you blue skies I'll show you danger And constant fear But you're a child still And me the giver I stand corrected Come hold my hand I'm with you always May I walk now I'm with you always I understand
