Mazel Tov Ita and Mayer, your 5th son is born!
Into poverty and poor
His noble name Seymour he owns
With love I will feed and rock him to sleep
Yet, only at 2 years old
Without a Mother to remember him by
To be without those hugs and kisses
Forever is a long time
Forever is a long time
Come my son, to shul we must be true
My brother has my suit and my shoes
Without books to study, there’s nothing to do
Still a boy, yet to be a Bar Mitzvah
His father goes to God
Farewell my man, farewell my tree
To be without those hugs and kisses
Forever is a long time
Forever is a long time
There’s no time to study, no time to learn
In this family we must eat and earn
Needing dollars to send our brightest to schools
Young man struggles through each and every day
Hymie to be a Doctor and Saul an accountant too
Success was with him and all that he knew
Welcome his glorious wife, the bloodline, the soulmate
His partner in all planets
Three children to follow in this flight of life
No longer without those hugs and kisses
As together
Forever is a long time
Forever is a long time
He grew, we have grown
Some highs and lows, funs and fantastics
Mountains of memories stored and preserved
He calls me sweetheart with love in his eyes
This strong man held so close to my heart
Somedays ache and long for his bellow
For us,
To be without his hugs and kisses
Forever is a long time
Forever is a long time.
