Paper Airplanes - Seals & Crofts

I’m a man who has lived my life alone

In seclusion, confusion, I’m dying, all I wanted was a son

I would take him on my knee, hold him close to me

Provide protection, direction, I’d love him, all I wanted was a son

Well I’d take him to the zoo to see the animals

And I’d buy him lollipops in Summertime

And I’d make him paper airplanes, take him to the movies

And give him a quarter when he asked for a dime

I’m a man who has dreamed my whole life away

The day she left me only kept me

From giving something living

For the world to remember me
