Can You Stay My Children With Me

Lost In The Past These Memories I See

Everyone I Used To Know

I've Seen Them All Taken They Each Had To Go



You're All I Have Now I Am Old

The World Outside So Bitter Cold So Bitter Cold



Running In Fields In Summers Distant Haze

I Look Back To Childhood's Long Peaceful Days

Times In Youth Where I Can Never Return

I Remember So Clearly Yet At A Distance I Yearn

If Only To Step Back For A Time

To Feel But One Of The Things That I Thought Would Always Be Mine Always Be Mine



I Remember Grandmother's Face

As She Recalled Her Younger Days

She Knew Deep Down As She Spoke Them To Me

Alone In These Memories No-one Could See

Or Feel With Her The Things She Felt

The Past Seemed So Cold My Children I Feared Growing Old I Feared Growing Old



Can You Stay My Children With Me

Lost In The Past These Memories I See

Everyone I Used To Know

I've Seen Them All Taken They Each Had To Go They Had To Die



Each Time You Leave I Wish You Could Stay

Yesterday's Gone But I Still Have Today

If Tomorrow I Leave Here And You See Me No More

Remember I Loved You As You Close One More Door



Each Time You Leave I Wish You Could Stay

Yesterday's Gone But I Still Have Today

If Tomorrow I Leave Here And You See Me No More

Remember I Loved You As You Close One More Door



Yesterday's Gone



You're All I Have Now I Am Old

The World Outside So Bitter Cold
