I Hear the Children Singing Songtext
von 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
