Lyrics

[Verse 1] While the children are sleeping I lie awake just thinking about you And while the children are going off to school I wonder why I was such a fool [Chorus] To ever let it go this far So, darling, wherever you are, come back [Chorus] And save the children If not for me, do it for them Save the little children Don't make them suffer For our sins [Bridge] Don't leave them daddy-less Just 'cause we can't get it right I know we could clean up this mess If you could just see them sleeping tonight [Pre-Chorus] I was such a fool to ever let it go this far So, darling, wherever you are, come back [Chorus] And save the children If not for me, do it for them Save the little children Don't make them suffer For our sins Save the little children
