He comes to me in the night
Eyes full of tears heart full of fright
Mommy can I sleep here? I'm afraid
I see him now and I have to smile
Lord that time has been a while
What will I do when my babies grow away ?

She comes to me almost in her teens
Eyes of blue and full of dreams
Each night when I look at her I pray
That all the love that in her heart
And all the joy thats in her eyes
Will somehow last beyond her wedding day

CHORUS

We all grow up someday I know
Take our places as we go
There's a plan for each of us they say
But with a world going so insane
Hearts get broke life full of pain
What will I do when my babies grow away?

I hold them both and I realize
How quickly time has passed us by
What will I do when my babies grow away?

Chorus(2)

What will I do when my babies grow away?
