Mame: Where is that boy with the bugle? My little love was always my big romance Where's that boy with the bugle? And why did I ever buy him those damn long pants? Did he need a stronger hand? Did he need a lighter touch? Was I soft or was I tough? Did I give enough? Did I give too much? At the moment when he needed me Did I ever turn away? Would I be there when he called If he walked into my life today Were his days a little dull? Were his nights a little wild? Did I overstate my plan? Did I stress the man? And forget the child And there must have been a million things That my heart forgot to say Would I think of one or two If he walked into my life today Should I blame the times I pampered him Or blame the times I bossed him What a shame! I never really found the boy Before I lost him Were the years a little fast? Was his world a little free? Was there too much of a crowd? All too lush and loud and not enough for me Though I'll ask myself my whole life long What went wrong along the way Would I make the same mistakes If he walked into my life today? If that boy with the bugle If he walked into my life today
Patrick: Where is that girl with the promise? The girl who tried to show me what love could be Where is that girl with the promise? And why do I feel the someone to blame is me? Did she need a stronger hand? Did she need a lighter touch? Was I soft or was I tough? Did I give enough? Did I give too much? At the moment that she needed me Did I ever turn away? Would I be there when she called If she walked into my life today Did she mind the lonely nights? Did she count the empty days? Was I silent, was I cold? Was I quick to scold? Was I slow to praise? And there must have been a million things That my heart forgot to say Would I think of one or two If she walked into my life today Should I blame the times I pampered her Or blame the times I bossed her What a shame! I never really found the girl Before I lost her Were the years a little fast? Was her world a little free? Was there too much of a crowd? All too lush and loud and not enough for me Though I'll ask myself my whole life long What went wrong along the way Would I make the same mistakes If she walked into my life today? If that girl with the promise If he walked into my life today
