There's a little blond boy
in a Superman cape
Racing around the backyard
Saying, Daddy,
don't you know I can fly to the moon?
I'll bring you back some stars
And after that I'm gonna
save the world
Cause I'm Superman today
Scoop that boy right into my arms
This is what I say,
you don't need a cape
to be my hero
You've got all the special
powers that you need
And your smile's enough
to save the world from evil
You'll always be Superman
to me
Had a little blonde boy in the cape again,
says he's gonna jump off the deck
Say little man,
can't you just slow down?
Today you're gonna break your neck
Don't you know that
I can't get hurt,
cause I'm Superman today
Scoop that boy right into my arms,
this is what I say
You don't need a cape
to be a hero
You've got all the special
powers that you need
And your smile's enough
to save the world from evil
You'll always be Superman
to me
One day he woke up
and didn't want his cape,
He knew that something weren't right.
The doctor said, we just don't know,
Better keep him the night.
I held his hand and I stroked his hair,
Somehow he fell off to sleep.
And I knelt at the window
and I prayed to the stars
God help me lead
Well I've never been much
of a praying man
Never had a faith very clear
Give me a sign and I'll step in the line
Just get my boy out of here
And I'll give you everything
any man's ever got
give you every bit of my love
and a whisper came back to me
in a prayer from above say you don't
need a cape to be his hero
you've got all the special
powers that you need
And your smile's enough
to save the world from evil
You'll always be Su perman to me
Yeah, little boy woke up in
the hospital room
Lookin' so quiet an d sad
I bring him in his cape and I say, big man
How about a smile for dad
and his wide blue eyes
filled up with tears.
I'm not Superman today
Scoop that boy right into my arms.
This is what I say
You don't need a cape to
be my hero
You've got all the special powers
that you need
And your smile's enough
to save the world from evil
You'll always be Superman to me
Yeah, you'll always be Superman to me you
