Tiny Broken Heart

He was just a little farm lad so busy at play In his little play house down by the gate He stopped to watch a truck that was parking next door At the home of his tiny playmate. Then he saw his Daddy watching too As the man swiftly walked to the cottage door He knew they were strangers that come from the town Men he had never seen before. They soon were at their work and he heard his Daddy say Our neighbors are moving today Oh no, he cried dear God don't let it be They can't take my sweetheart away. I know Dad that you don't understand How a heart so young can conceive a plan I'm only seven now but it's just like you said Dad someday I'll be a man. The man who runs the farm where your playmate now lives He told me it'd have to be this way For winter time has come and their work is all done So now they are moving away. Let us buy the farm so they can stay Give them all my toys that dear Santa gave And give him the pennies in my little bank Pennies that my darling helped me save...
