A Letter to My Children Songtext
von Christopher Cross

Tiny hands that reached out for me
To share the touch of the mystery
Shining eyes that wonder what will be

So begins a love like you have never known
A love for another life so strong
That you would give your own
You do your best
And hope that you have shown them

You′re my heroes
You're what matters
All the days of my life
You′re my heroes
My ever after
You bring me joy, bring the light

Now you're young men and women of the world
Fly the winds of kindness, let your wings unfurl
I wish you peace
And that sad times turn to pearls


You're my heroes
(you′re my heroes)
You′re what matters
(you're what matters)
All the days of my life
You′re my heroes
(you're my heroes)
My ever after
You bring me joy, bring the light

And if I go away
Please remember every day
That I′ll be there
To help you find your way back home

And when I go away
Please remember every day
All the ways you make me proud to say

You're my heroes
(you′re my heroes)
You're what matters
(you're what matters)
All the days of my life
You′re my heroes
(you′re my heroes)
My ever after
You bring me joy, bring the light


You're my heroes
(you′re my heroes)
You're what matters
(you′re what matters)
All the days of my life
