歌曲歌詞
The conversation pauses
While the waiter pours our tea
This timely interruption is a great relief to me
I wish he'd stay all day I'd never have to say
About the children
You're looking really lovely
And the dress is really you
The necklace I remember
But the bracelet must be new
But that's another day
I clear my throat and say
About the children
Oh they'll be away at school
They'll have the camps to go to
And they're much too young
To know how hard it is to go through
Ah these were to be the years for us
Making love in the afternoon
No worries anymore about the children
The conversation's civilized
We calmly nod our heads
You're smiling as you always do
But your napkin is in shreds
You'd like to run away oh
Who'd be the first to say
About the children
Oh they'll be away at school
They'll have the camps to go to
And they're much too young to know
How hard it is to go through
Ah these were to be the years for us
Making love in the afternoon
No worries anymore about the children
The conversation's civilized
We calmly nod our heads
You're smiling as you always do
But your napkin is in shreds
You'd like to run away oh
Who'd be the first to say
About the children
