Chris Glassfield A Sleeping Child Lyrics

Verse 1:

There is no wonder like a sleeping child,
Lost in dreams, who just was running wild.
The toys that fell by the wayside:
Friends playing beyond the sky…

Verse 2:

A soft contentment and a golden smile
Fill the air and we can rest a while
And watch those changing expressions:
Friends playing beyond the sky!

Chorus:

But why, sooner than we know, Childhood's special glow
Will have faded away…

And time, time goes by so fast,
Rushing to the past,
While the child runs away… Runs away!

So…

Verse 3:

Stay, I'll stay and watch my sleeping child!
Lost in dreams, who just was running wild,
The toys that fell by the wayside:
Friends playing beyond the sky!
