Paul Seip - Child lyrics

[Verse 1] Contemplating many thoughts Entranced in distant dreams Yesterday's behind us now So let us travel on Each day starts a frantic search That ends sometimes Plans made for the future Are a fantasy of mind [Chorus] A child's hands to hug my neck A child's eyes to shine A child to look up to me And call me daddy [Verse 2] I wonder yes I wonder Will I find what I look for Will I find it in a word Cast from a stranger Or should I turn my search Upon the monuments of time Can it be, it might be lost From me forever [Chorus] Tomorrow, tomorrow ebbing From nights tide Can a forerunner not warn me It's approaching Then I can turn my eyes and view The eighth wonder in life Before I'm laid to rest to sleep forever [Chorus]
