Lyrics
When he was a 'bitty boy
he asked his daddy for a toy
But he said just go away
and make due with what you play
so not today...
Then later on and not quite ten
and the guts to ask again
but he said stop making noise
besides you're older than the other boys
who have the toys...
The older you get, you don't forget
The little boy you had you never met
It was more than just the toys
It was more than just the toys
Baseball, the game he grew to love
He wished only for a glove
Billy lent him one to play
and they played catch all night and day
So a lefty he became...
The older you get, you don't forget
The little boy you had you never met
It was more than just the game
It was more than just the game
At Fourteen daddy said goodbye
He never stopped to wonder why
But he asked, while on your way
could you drop me off to play?...
If its OK?
The older you get, you don't forget
The little boy you had you never met
and it was more than just the game
It was more than just the game
It was more than just the game
