| Only a father, only a mother
|
| Can understand that you feel out of sorts today
|
| Your hidden crying, must feel like dying
|
| I see you’re holding back your tears, wasting away
|
| But if you lose the game of love you have to part
|
| It’s so hard for you, my little child
|
| No, it ain’t easy
|
| I know your whole world’s tumbling down
|
| I hear you crying, secretly crying
|
| Those lonely nights when you’re still here with me to stay
|
| But I am hoping, secretly hoping
|
| My little darling, you’ll return to me one day
|
| My broken heart will never mend
|
| My love for you will never end
|
| Forever, pretty baby
|
| I will be at your back and call
|
| It’s beyond bearing to know it hurts you
|
| 'Cause you will have to pay the piper, pretty girl
|
| My heart is breaking to see you aching
|
| Want you to know my door is open all the time
|
| But if you lose the game of love you have to part
|
| It’s so hard for you, my little child
|
| No, it ain’t easy
|
| I know your whole world’s tumbling down
|
| I hear you crying, secretly crying
|
| Those lonely nights when you’re still here with me to stay
|
| But I am hoping, secretly hoping
|
| My little darling, you’ll return to me one day
|
| My broken heart will never mend
|
| My love for you will never end
|
| Forever, pretty baby
|
| I will be at your back and call
|
