The Bravest heart of all : song / lyric by Raymond Egan music by Richard A. Whiting

VERSE 01: I saw a mother and a baby on an ocean pier today./I heard the baby cry for daddy, when the big ship sail’d away./As the steamer slowly vanish’d bound for France across the sea,/The mother clasp’d the baby, and she whisper’d tenderly
VERSE 02: Today there’s many many daddies who will sail across the foam./And there are many many mothers, who will wait and pray at home./There are many teardrops, that are only born to stray,/Down the cheeks of little laddies, as they hear their mothers say
CHORUS: My little laddie boy oh my laddie boy/You’re only five years old today/You have your daddy’s eyes bluer than the skies,/And they sparkle when you play./Mother loves her little shaver./He’s the sunshine Heaven gave her,/Just to cheer away all the tears that stray/Since your daddy sail’d away/My little laddie dear there’s a day I fear/When you will be so brave and tall/Someday, you’ll be a man sir and then you’ll answer/To dear old Glory’s call/Like your dad you’d sail away,/With a heart so brave and gay./But when you depart, then your mother’s heart,/Will be the Bravest Heart of All.
