Krauss Alison - Tiny Broken Heart lyrics

He was just a little farm lad so busy at play

with his little play mate outside the gate

He stopped to watch a truck that was parking next door

At the home of his tiny play mate

Then he saw his daddy watching too

As the men swiftly walked to the cottage door

He knew they were strangers that came from the town

Men he had never seen before

They soon went to work when he heard his daddy say

Our neighboors are moving today

"Oh no" he cried dear God don't let it be

They can't take my sweetheart away

I know Dad you don't understand

How a heart so young could conceive a plan

I'm only 7 now but it's just like you say

Daddy some day I'll be a man

The man who owns the farm where your playmates do live

He told me it has to be this way

For winter time has come and the work is all done

That's why they are moving today

Let us buy the farm so they can stay

And give them all the toys that dear Santa gave

And give them all my pennies in my little piggy bank

Pennies that my darling help me save
