While The Children Play |
| I’ll sit alone |
| And I’ll hear their song |
| They’ve never known |
| How it all went wrong |
| Little voices very clear |
| And they wonder why they never see you here |
| While I read each day |
| While the children play |
| I see your face |
| And I feel your touch |
| But can’t replace |
| What I’ve left so much |
| And the magic of the sound |
| Just reminds me of the love that once we found |
| So, I read each day |
| While the children play |
| Not long ago, |
| We were young and free |
| Though love should grow, |
| It was not for me Gone is over happiness |
| And you left me here to grieve in loneliness |
| So, I read each day |
| While the children play |
| I don’t know where |
| They will ever learn |
| They’d smile again |
| If you just return |
| Though they often see me cry, |
| In their hearts, they won’t accept that last goodbye |
| So, I read each day |
| While the children play |
