I Hear The Children Singing - Smokey Robinson

I hear the children singing

But amidst the melody

I hear a tiny voice cry

I hear the children singing

But amidst the melody

I hear a tiny voice cry

Why did we grow up

What were we thinking of

Why didn’t we stay young

And so in love

I hear the children singing

But I hear a tiny voice cry

Why can’t I find love

Like we knew

When we were young at play

Will I ever hear the music

Will my sadness stay

I’m only a child

A tiny voice cries

I long to hear the melody

The one we danced to yesterday

When we used to laugh sadness away

I hear the children singing

But amidst the melody

I hear a tiny voice cry

My love remains young

And memories linger on

So a grown-up like me

Is forever a child

I hear the children singing

But amidst the melody

I hear a tiny voice cry
