My Boy
Words and music by Brian May
In 1988, Brian played demos of some of the songs for his planned solo album to
some friends. The three songs he played were "The Dark", "I'm Scared" and
"My Boy". This final song was eventually released in 1998 on the

Paces
Strange how soon the party's over
I should know by now
My hand no longer guides your footsteps
Now you guide your own
And all that's left is the sound of your voice
And your face as you were on the screen

The bad wolf has gone
He'll have no part of our game
All too soon the dream world's fading
Says farewell
Since my boy became a man
(Don't make it too soon)
My small boy
