Beautiful Child

Beautiful child
Beautiful child
You are a beautiful child
And I am a fool once more

We fell in love when I was only ten
The years disappeared
Much has gone by since then
I bite my lip
And you send me away
You trust I have no choice
I had to stay
Ooh I had to stay
Ooh I had to stay

Sleepless child
There's so little time
Your eyes say yes
But you don't say yes
Well I wish that you were mine
I wish that you were mine

You say it will be harder in the morning
I wait for you to say just go
Your hands tell mine so few hours
(I fell into love)
But I'm not a child any more

I'm not a child any more
I'm tall enough to reach for the stars
I'm old enough to love you from afar
Too trusting? Yes but then women usually are

I'm not a child any more
(I'm not a child no no)
No, I'm not a child, oh no
Tall enough to reach for the stars
I will do as I'm told
(I'm old enough to love you from afar)
Even if I never hold you again
(Too trusting? Yes but then women usually are)
Hold you again

(Hold you again)
Sleepless child
There is so little time
(I will do as I'm told)
Your eyes say yes
But you don't say yes
(Even if I never hold you again)
I wish that you were mine
(Hold you again)
I wish that you were mine
(Even if I never hold you again)
Well I wish that you were mine
(Hold you again)
Well I wish that you were mine
(I'm not a child any more)
