Little Bug

Five short months don’t sound like much

To folks who never knew your touch

But son, you filled my whole heart up

More than words could ever say

You’d look at me with those bright eyes

And light up every room inside

The sweetest smile I’ve ever known

Still carries me today

Oh, Little Bug, I miss you every day

Your laughter still echoes though you’ve gone away

I’d give anything to hold you close and rock you back to sleep

But I know you’re in Heaven where the angels gently keep

And when my time on earth is through

The first thing that I’m gonna do

Is find my Little Bug and hold you once again

There’s an empty place here in my arms

Where I used to keep you safe from harm

Some nights I swear I hear your laugh

Drifting on the wind

And though the tears still sometimes fall

The love we shared outlasts it all

A father’s heart can’t say goodbye

To a son he’ll love ’til the end

Oh, Little Bug, I miss you every day

Your laughter still echoes though you’ve gone away

I’d give anything to hold you close and rock you back to sleep

But I know you’re in Heaven where the angels gently keep

And when my time on earth is through

The first thing that I’m gonna do

Is find my Little Bug and hold you once again

They say time can heal the deepest scars

But it can’t erase who you are

You’re written in every beat of my heart

And every prayer I send up above

So until the day we meet again

I’ll carry you through my thick and thin

My son, my Little Bug, my forever love

Oh, Little Bug, I miss you every day

But I know we’ll meet again beyond those pearly gates

And I’ll finally hold you in my arms and never let you go

We’ll laugh together once again like only Heaven knows

Until that day, I’ll carry on

With your memory making me strong

My Little Bug, my son, my heart, my home.
