Petula Clark - While The Children Play Lyrics
(Tony Hatch/Georges Aber/Petula Clark)I'll sit aloneAnd I'll hear their songThey've never knownHow it all went wrongLittle voices very clearAnd they wonder why they never see you hereWhile I read each dayWhile the children playI see your faceAnd I feel your touchBut can't replaceWhat I've left so muchAnd the magic of the soundJust reminds me of the love that once we foundSo, I read each dayWhile the children playNot long ago,We were young and freeThough love should grow,It was not for meGone is over happinessAnd you left me here to grieve in lonelinessSo, I read each dayWhile the children playI don't know whereThey will ever learnThey'd smile againIf you just returnThough they often see me cry,In their hearts, they won't accept that last goodbyeSo, I read each dayWhile the children play
