Beautiful Child

Beautiful Child

You are a beautiful child

And I am a fool once more





You fell in love when I was only ten

The years disappeared

Much has gone by since then

I bite my lip, can you send me away

You touch

I have no choice

I have to stay

I had to stay





Sleepless child

There is so little time

Your eyes say yes

But you don't say yes

I wish that you were mine





You say it will be harder in the

morning

I wait for you to say, just go

Your hands, held mine so few hours

And I'm not a child anymore





I'm not a child anymore

I'm tall enough

To reach the stars

I'm old enough

To love you from afar

Too trusting. . .yes?

But then women usually are





I'm not a child anymore

No, I'm not a child, oh no

Tall enough to reach for the stars

I will do

As I'm told

Even if I never hold you again

I never hold you again
