Lyrics:

Only a father, only a mother
Can understand that you feel out of sorts today
Your hidden crying, must feel like dying
I see you're holding back your tears, wasting away

But if you lose the game of love you have to part
It's so hard for you, my little child
No, it ain't easy
I know your whole world's tumbling down

I hear you crying, secretly crying
Those lonely nights when you're still here with me to stay
But I am hoping, secretly hoping
My little darling, you'll return to me one day
My broken heart will never mend
My love for you will never end
Forever, pretty baby
I will be at your back and call

It's beyond bearing to know it hurts you
'Cause you will have to pay the piper, pretty girl
My heart is breaking to see you aching
Want you to know my door is open all the time

But if you lose the game of love you have to part
It's so hard for you, my little child
No, it ain't easy
I know your whole world's tumbling down

I hear you crying, secretly crying
Those lonely nights when you're still here with me to stay
But I am hoping, secretly hoping
My little darling, you'll return to me one day
My broken heart will never mend
My love for you will never end
Forever, pretty baby
I will be at your back and call

Dum du du du
Du du du du du
Du du du du du du du du du du du du
Du du du du du
Du du du du du
Du du du du du du du du du du du du
Forever, pretty baby
I will be at your back and call
