Hate to say the time has come again Work bell rings an old familiar hymn Baby girl now please don't cry those tears It’s killing me just to think of all the years gone by What we've missed is hard to say Can't be kept or stored away A shooting star in the blink of an eye Life goes by And I hate to see you cry Hate to see you cry A little girl with a great big cross to bear Mom and Dad don’t get along and it's never fair, I know Seems the only way to try to cope Is to hold dreams near and never Ever give up hope, never give up hope Where did all the river water flow To the ocean from the melting snow The love we share now won't just melt away I'll be back some bright and sunny day, yea I will
