A
i love him

willy is my joy , he is my sorrow
now he wants to run away and hide
he says our love cannot be real
he cannot hear the chapels pealing silver bells
but you know its hard to tell
when youre in the spell if its wrong or if its real
but youre bound to lose
if you let the blues get you scared to feel
and i feel like im just being born
like a shiny light breaking in a storm
there are so many reasons why
i love him

willy is my child , he is my father
