歌曲歌詞
It's all so clear
Who you've come to be
You know yourself
Your identity
When suddenly
Comes a little child
A precious smile
Becomes the heart
Of who you are
You hold in yours such a tiny hand
And speak so soft would he understand
No matter where in this crazy world
His sails unfurl
He'll never be
Too far from me
Ohhhh
Ah but there would come a day
When that child slips away
When autumn fell
And the wars began
To take his hand
Away from me
How can this be
So you return to your old neighborhood
And walk the streets of your childhood
How those memories they come rushing in
To live again
The very heart
Of who you are
Still recall
How it made you feel
Just you and dad
And no training wheels
Wind in your face
On that special day
To hear him say
I'm letting go
You're on your own
Ohhhh
Ah but there would come a day
When that child slips away
When at thirty years there's another one
Who would call you son
How can this be
What's wrong with me
I'll turn my face to the open sea
Ahead of me
And learn to ride
The changing tide
Ohhhhh
Ah but there would come a day
Ah but there would come a day
Ohhhhhh
