Baby Billy

I see your little face, watch your little smile.
Oh it lights up the room, you’re a little wild.
Kickin’ and pullin’
at the world that you see,
and let’s, let’s face it, you look a little like me.

Memory plays tricks and lets me down.
Don’t want it dark and gloomy when you’re around

Bring in the sunlight.
Takes the shadows from my face.
If I’m sad tonight, it’s just memory.
I’m thinkin’ positively about you and I, I hope you realise
When you get old enough you’ll see the love in my eyes.

Memory plays tricks and it gets me down.
I don’t want gloom and doom to come on round.
Go away.

This is happy occasion, all of us in this room
Every generation represented, represented here.
Oh the laughter when you tumble and you roll on the floor.
I’m full of emotion, I could cry, I can’t take much more.

Memory plays tricks and it gets me down.
Banish all the gloom and the doom. I don’t want it around.
Go away.

A little star, I know.
That's what you'll be.
When you get much older
I hope you’ll remember my memory.
Because when you're way up there, now don’t look down
Just remember the man with the grey hair who sometimes cast a frown

Memory plays tricks and it makes me sad.
Go away old memories, can’t all be bad.

Little boy, little boy, little boy, this is for you.
Oh! little boy, little boy, you know this is for you.
Little boy, oh! Little boy, this song is for you
Oh! Little boy, little boy, this song is for you.

It’s for you, just for you
Nobody else, just for you.
It’s for nobody else,
But you.
