Lyrics

Children, children
What do we do for our children?
We have them and love them with all our might
And we tuck them up safely in bed at night
We tell them the way to the land of nod
And the things they should say when they talk to God
Children, children
What do we do to our children?
We hold them and love them and we worry and fuss
May the world be much kinder to them than us
We pray every day they'll be strong and tall
God bless the children, God bless them all
They only grow up and they leave one day
And they blame us for taking their dreams away
And the houses are empty, the nurseries forlorn
These were beautiful places when they were born
Children, children
What can you say about children?
Who knows where their childhood ends
Or when it ends just why you drift apart
I only know that they never leave your heart
