Pretty-eyed Boy

(chorus)

Where are you going my pretty-eyed boy?

Where are you going my son?

Where are you going my pretty-eyed boy?

Where are you going to run?

 

One day your flight will be over

Your fight for freedom will be won

One day your flight will be over

Then where will you run to my pretty-eyed boy?

Where will you run to my son?

 

Won’t you run home to me my pretty-eyed boy?

Won’t you run home to me my son?

Won’t you run home to me my pretty-eyed boy?

Your memory can never replace

The light of the love that you gave us

 

A candle burns for you my pretty-eyed boy

A candle burns for you my son

A candle burns for you my pretty-eyed boy

May the path you have chosen to take

Be guided by His holy grace

 

Won’t you run home to me my pretty-eyed boy?

Won’t you run home to me my son?

Won’t you run home to me my pretty-eyed boy?

Your memory can never replace

The light of the love that you gave us
