Paper Airplanes — текст песни (Seals and Crofts)

(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals & Dash Crofts, 1970)
From the albums YEAR OF SUNDAY (1972) and MIDDLE OF THE ROAD (1972).

I`m a man who has lived my life alone.
In seclusion, confusion, I`m dying, all I wanted was a son.
I would take him on my knee, hold him close to me.
Provide protection, direction, I`d love him, all I wanted was a son.

Well I`d take him to the zoo to see the animals.
And I`d buy him lollipops in Summertime.
And I`d make him paper airplanes, take him to the movies
And give him a quarter when he asked for a dime.

I`m a man who has dreamed my whole life away
The day she left me only kept me
From giving something living
For the world to remember me.
