What Shall We Do With The Child Lyrics

    (holmes/horsey, additional lyrics by carly simon)

    I know i’m not what you wanted
    Not what you had in mind
    And i didn’t come close
    To the mark you’d set
    For the girl you’d planned to find
    You’ve never seen me cry
    We shared but idle words
    And a casual goodbye

    And what shall we do with the child
    Who’s got your eyes
    My hair
    And your smile
    Reminding me that we fell in love
    But just for a little while

    You never asked about the girl you never knew
    And while she was sleeping in my arms
    She never asked about you
    Without you seems the only way

    But time has passed and now
    She’ll soon be asking questions
    And she’ll ask about you
    And how
    Shall i say to the child
    Who’s got your eyes, my hair, your smile
    Reminding me that we fell in love
    But just for a little while
    What shall we do with the child
    Who’s got your eyes, my hair, your smile
