From the moment, you could talk
All the people said : "listen"
It's so funny, how the things will often change
From the moment, you could talk

Oh, they told you : "please wait, boy"
It's so funny, how the things will often change
But whatever they'll tell you
And whatever they say
I will always be your best friend
I promise, come what may

Marvin, life is harder than it seems
Marvin, never grow too old to dream
Marvin, oh I swear you'll always be my son
Every time and every moment
And whatever you have done

From the moment, you could smile
Thousand times I saw you crying
It's so funny how the things will often change
From the moment, you would try
Oh, they want you as a soldier
It's so funny how the things will often change
Oh, if time could turn backwards
I would never leave again
Someday, we'll be together
Always be a friend

Marvin, but I swear, you'll always be my son
Every time and every moment
And whatever baby, you have done
