A little guy rode right up Said he wanted to be a cop like me I watched his eyes twinkle Smile as big as the moon He seemed so happy a child Each day as I made my rounds He rode his bike to talk with me I gave him a little badge His name was brightly etched He thanked me as he rode away “I’m a real cop now” I heard him say I took a call late one night A father abandoned his son Driving up I noticed the bike My little friend sat shyly on the porch His badge pinned on his tattered shirt He looked up with a tear in his eye My heart shattered within my chest He calmly walked right up to me My dad left me alone sir I want to be like you I can be your partner I became his foster family He gave my life new joy A wonderful ray of sunshine Today he becomes like me Never so proud of anyone Tears roll down my face Memories flood my mind The day he rode up on his bike I watched his eyes twinkle Smile as big as the moon As they pin his badge on Said he wanted to be a cop like me I Love You Son Cast your shadow well A little guy rode right up Said he wanted to be a cop like me I watched his eyes twinkle Smile as big as the moon He seemed so happy a child Each day as I made my rounds He rode his bike to talk with me I gave him a little badge His name was brightly etched He thanked me as he rode away “I’m a real cop now” I heard him say I took a call late one night A father abandoned his son Driving up I noticed the bike My little friend sat shyly on the porch His badge pinned on his tattered shirt He looked up with a tear in his eye My heart shattered within my chest He calmly walked right up to me My dad left me alone sir I want to be like you I can be your partner I became his foster family He gave my life new joy A wonderful ray of sunshine Today he becomes like me Never so proud of anyone Tears roll down my face Memories flood my mind The day he rode up on his bike I watched his eyes twinkle Smile as big as the moon As they pin his badge on Said he wanted to be a cop like me I Love You Son Cast your shadow well
