The Child In Me
I see the eyes There's little hope
of a small lost child for my small lost child
Living within my mind Memories won't go back there
Been there so long She can't be tamed
she's now living wild will always be wild
Hiding from all So I must keep her
that's cruel or unkind in my care
She looks out I see the eyes
from behind my eyes of a small lost child
Searching for her happy years Living deep within my mind
But they're all gone Been there so long
flown to the skies she's now living wild
All that's left's Hiding from
heartache and tears cruel and unkind
I hear the voice Tonight will she cry
of a small lost child Tonight will she scream
Echoing round me now Tonight, tonight
There's no way out Come to me in my dreams
she's far too wild
Hush now child She's the child in me
find sleep somehow who should have been
Chasing good thoughts But she never was
too far away nor could ever have been
For a glimpse to show her fun Now she's deep inside
But the moments are brief and will never be seen
they won't stay For she saw what no small child
Leaving her should ever have seen
the lonely one
Tonight will she cry
Tonight will she cry Tonight will she scream
Tonight will she scream Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight Come to me in my dreams
Come to life in my dreams
