Edgar Guest - Couldn`t Live Without YouEdgar Guest - Couldn`t Live Without You
Work rating: Low


You`re just a little fellow with a lot of funny ways, Just three-foot-six of mischief set with eyes that fairly blaze; You`re always up to something with those busy hands o` yours, And you leave a trail o` ruin on the walls an` on the doors, An` I wonder, as I watch you, an` your curious tricks I see, Whatever is the reason that you mean so much to me. You`re just a chubby rascal with a grin upon your face, Just seven years o` gladness, an` a hard and trying case; You think the world`s your playground, an` in all you say an` do You fancy everybody ought to bow an` scrape to you; Dull care`s a thing you laugh at just as though `twill never be, So I wonder, little fellow, why you mean so much to me. Now your face is smeared with candy or perhaps it`s only dirt, An` it`s really most alarming how you tear your little shirt; But I have to smile upon you, an` with all your wilful ways, I`m certain that I need you `round about me all my days; Yes, I`ve got to have you with me, for somehow it`s come to be That I couldn`t live without you, for you`re all the world to me.
