WHEN THE CHILDREN ARE GONE (lyrics)

When the children are gone
And we sit at the window
Looking out at the feet passing by
When the children are gone
And there's only you and I

All the years that we wished
For these moments of peace
Can they now become more than a bore
When the children are gone
Will we love each other more

When the children are gone
And we lie down together
Reaching out for the closeness
We thought was once there
Will we find something left
Besides cartons of long out-grown dreams
And sweet memories of them we can share

When the children are gone
Will we look at the space left behind
And go on as before
Or will we wish that we'd given them more
When the children are gone

When the children are gone
Will we say our goodbyes
And go on no more wise than before
Or have we got some surprises in store
When the children are gone

Will we turn to each other
For the warmth of a lover
Can it be we'll discover
What we dreamed all along
Can a lullabye become a love song
When the children are gone
