I Was Left On The Street

A policeman’s whistle gayly, a smile upon his face\nAs he walked along the old familiar beat\nHe saw a little bay crying and thought his heart would break\nStanding bare foot in the middle of the street\nI was left on the street with no shoes upon my feet\nWhen I saw my mom and daddy drive away\nNow I’m not old enough to know every much myself\nBut I saw my dad and mommy drive away\nThe policeman stopped the traffic, then went up to the boy\nAnd he asked him gently, where do you belong\nThe little boy stopped crying and with trembling lips he said\nI’m not big enough to know just what went wrong\nI was left on the street with no shoes upon my feet\nWhen I saw my mom and daddy drive away\nNow I’m not old enough to know every much myself\nBut I saw my dad and mommy drive away\nThe little boy is happy now with a new mom and dad\nHis new daddy is the policeman on the beat\nTho' he can’t forget that awful day it doesn’t seem to hurt so bad\nHe has a brand new pair of shoes upon his feet\nI was left on the street with no shoes upon my feet\nWhen I saw my mom and daddy drive away\nNow I’m not old enough to know every much myself\nBut I saw my dad and mommy drive away
