|
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
|
