From the moment you could talk   All the people said, "Listen"   It's so funny how the things will often change   From the moment you could talk   Oh, they told you, "Please wait, boy"   It's so funny how the things will often change      But whatever they tell you   And whatever they say   I will always be your best friend   I promise come what may      Marvin, life is harder than it seems   Marvin, never grow too old to dream   Marvin, oh, I swear you'll always be my son   Every time, every moment   And whatever you have done      From the moment you could smile   Thousand times I saw you crying   It's so funny how the things will often change   From the moment, you would try   Oh, they want you as a soldier   It's so funny how the things will often change      Oh, if time could turn backwards   I would never leave again   Someday we'll be together   Always be a friend      Marvin, life is harder than it seems   Marvin, never grow too old to dream   Marvin, oh, I swear you'll always be my son   Every time and every moment   And whatever you have done      Marvin, but I swear you'll always be my son   Every time and every moment   And whatever, baby, you have done
