To A Child (Album Version)

To A Child - Laura Nyro

Written by：L. Nyro

What is life

Did you read about it

In a magazine

Silent lies

Never give you what you need

Is there hope

For a mother

And an elf on speed

Kiss the sun hello

Child in the park

Make your life a lovin' thing

I'm so tired

You're so wired

And I'm a poet

Without a poem

And you are my child

So serene

Read about us in a magazine

Then why are we

Crying by the washing machine

Let's run away child

And follow a dream

Kiss the sun hello

Child in the park

Make your life a lovin' thing

The park is late

The wind is strong

The trees have eyes

And you are my song

My lovely song

What is love

Child I am here

To stand by you

And you will find

You own way hard and true

And I'll find mine

'Cause I'm growin' with you

Kiss the sun hello

God goddess

Make his life a lovin' thing

And if I smile as you reach

Above the climbin' bars

To see the stars

You are my love

My love

I'll miss you

How many years
