That Little Boy Who Follows Me Lyrics


A careful man I want to be a little youngster follows me
I do not dare to go astray in fear he might go that same way
I cannot once escape his eyes and what he sees me do he tries
Like me he says he wants to be that little boy who follows me
Now he thinks that I'm so big and fine he believes every single word of mine
Lord the bad in me please don't let him see I wish that I could much stronger be
I must remember as I go through summer's sun and winter's snow
I'm molding for eternity that little boy who follows me
Yes I'm molding for eternity that little boy that follows me

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Harlan Howard (1927-2002), a native of Detroit, was one of the most prolific and successful of the “old school” Nashville songwriters. While living and working in Los Angeles, he enjoyed a few minor successes, before the break-out hits “Pick Me Up On Your Way Down” and “Heartaches by the Number” led him to move to Nashville in 1960. There, he became an immediate success, his songs recorded by innumerable country artists. Among his biggest hits was the Patsy Cline classic “I Fall to Pieces.” A member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Country Music Hall of Fame, he was a force in country music until his death.
