A Little Soul Is Born Lyrics - Singles - Kingston Trio

In the quiet of the dawn a little soul is born 

Put him in a blanket to see if he is warm 

Hold him very close just as closely as you can 

For he'll never ever be that little soul again 

On a summer morning, there's a little boy play 

Discovering the world that will be his one day 

Watch him very close just as closely as you can 

For he'll never ever be that young boy again 

On an autumn afternoon, a young man goes to learn 

How to build the bridges and makes the wheels to turn 

And woman you will love him just as often as you can 

For he'll never ever be that young man again 

On a lonely midnight winter, an old man goes to sleep 

Leaving everything he owned for other men to keep 

And the earth will hold him close just as closely as it can 

For he'll never ever be that old man again
