The Wonder Of It All

Here we are again, together

You have got children

I a daughter of my own

The children we could have had together

For the wonder of it all

Yes the wonder of it all

Shielding my eyes against the sunshine

I look back on the path

We might have travelled side by side

How I wish you'd come on that journey

Could and wouldn't should

Always were my favourite words

Might have been what made you drift away

Now I think that we live

In an ocean of choices

Trying to swim as best we can

Now and then

Wouldn't hurt me

Just to give up a word of thanks

For the wonder of it all

Here we are again, together

You have got children

I a daughter of my own

The children we could have had together

For the wonder of it all

Yes the wonder of it all

I can't say my life's been unhappy

It doesn't look to me

As though you cry yourself to sleep

So take another walk around this garden

And listen to our children

Falling in and out of love

Remembering how we did much the same

And I think that we live

In an ocean of choices

Sometimes the waters close above my head

Even so

Wouldn't hurt me

Just to give up a prayer of thanks

For the wonder of it all
