There are little eyes upon you; they’re watching night and day;
There are little ears that quickly take in every word you say;
There are little hands all eager to do everything you do,
And a little boy who’s dreaming of the day he’ll be like you.
You’re the little fellow’s idol; you’re the wisest of the wise;
In his little mind about you, no suspicions ever rise;
He believes in you devoutly, holds that all you say and do
He will say and do in your way when he’s grown up like you.
There’s a wide-eyed little fellow who believes you’re always right,
And his ears are always open, and he watches day and night;
You are setting an example every day in all you do,
For the little boy who’s waiting to grow up to be like YOU!
