a sleeping child
Select language to translate this lyric
Verse 1:
There is no wonder like a sleeping child,
Lost in dreams, who just was running wild.
The toys that fell by the wayside:
Friends playing beyond the skyââ¬Â¦
Verse 2:
A soft contentment and a golden smile
Fill the air and we can rest a while
And watch those changing expressions:
Friends playing beyond the sky!
Chorus:
But why, sooner than we know,
Childhood's special glow
Will have faded awayââ¬Â¦
And time, time goes by so fast,
Rushing to the past,
While the child runs awayââ¬Â¦ Runs away!
Soââ¬Â¦
Verse 3:
Stay, I'll stay and watch my sleeping child!
Lost in dreams, who just was running wild,
The toys that fell by the wayside:
Friends playing beyond the sky!
