While the children are sleeping
I lie awake just thinking about you.
And while the children are going off to school
I wonder why I was such a fool
To ever let it go this far.
So, darling, wherever you are,
Come back.
And save the children.
If not for me, do it for them.
Save the little children.
Don't make them suffer for our sin.
Don't leave them daddyless
Just 'cause we can't get it right.
I know we could clean up this mess
If you could just see them sleepin' tonight.
I was such a fool to ever let it go this far.
So, darling, wherever you are,
Come back.
And save the children.
If not for me, then do it for them.
Save the little children.
Don't make them suffer for our sin.
Save the little children.
