CARLY SIMON lyrics : "What Shall We Do With The Child"

(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
