Molly is only 6 years old He loves to lay under the sun all day Rarely he lands on his feet He only runs if there's something to eat Sometimes when it's cold Molly hides his head under a cloth And he will try to play with Otis But his brother's busy warming up the bed When he hears a sound Coming from outside the house Molly leaves the sun Just to stand right by the door in case this time You forgot you're never coming back He looks at the birds leaving with the spring And wonders why the flowers and you are gone again And as long as I am home He's there when I play my songs In fact, he's right beside me as I write these words But when he hears a sound Coming from outside the house Molly leaves the sun Just to stand right by the door in case this time You forgot you're never coming back Molly is only 6 years old Summer's over and the sun is gone I keep saying they'll be back Little Molly, don't be sad, my love But you know you were his favorite It kills me but it's true Little Molly, he can't love me As much as he loved you You're not coming back You're not coming back You're not coming back You're not coming back
