Thank you for the comments and if any other questions i'd be glad to answer them.

Go to sleep my little son
Go to sleep my little son and dream of things and toys
and I will pray for you while i'm away
Your too young my little man but try to understand
why daddy had to go don't shed a tear
Little boy: Paul Smith from Ottawa ON. Canada
"I can't sleep dear ol dad cause I feel so sad
It's hard for me to tell what's wrong or right
I kneel down at my bed-side say a prayer every night
and wish that God will help along the way"
Verse:
In the springtime of our years we laughed and were so near
but I have reaped the seeds that I have sowed
Now in the yard I see a man walking hand in hand
with a boy like we used to you and me
Now it's the Autumn of my years and I dream of days gone by
and I wonder just how your moma's doin
"She's as pretty as before dad" Oh! I long to see once more
before the years have turned my hair to snow
Chorus end:
