Innocent boy
We walked around the block
You wrote your name in chalk
You’d stop to count the rocks at the corner house
Innocent boy
I taught you to ride a bike
We looked for bugs on hikes
Played “Going on a bear hunt” at the park
Innocent boy
I helped you climb the rock wall
So afraid that you would fall
But, I stood aside and let you go
To let you grow oh, oh, oh, innocent boy
Innocent boy
You’ve grown faster than the sun sets
And I have no regrets
Except I can’t make time stand still
Innocent boy
I know love means letting go
I know I have to let you grow, oh, oh, oh, innocent boy
Oh, oh, oh, innocent boy.
