Child Lyrics by The Folklords

Release The Sunshine

1968

[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 sometime
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]
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 3]
Tomorrow, tomorrow ebbing from night's 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]
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
