Children of the Night

Daniel Johns
You leave on the seven sixteen every morning
to the city and your factory you tell me you haven't got time,
to sit with your children talk for a while show them that there's time for a smile
and the world won't end tomorrow. Money can't buy love.
money can't buy the smiling face on a little child
comin' home from school to a loving kiss
not an empty house in its loneliness ever wondering what the point to life is....
chorus
I'm gonna cry for the children of the night
may you find the love you long for in the morning light.
You come home on the nine twenty five
to sleepy needy lonely eyes
and you tell me you haven't got time
to sit with your children and talk for a while
show them that there's time for a smile
and the world won't end tomorrow
money can't buy love.... chorus
we're all rushing to nowhere
soon our lives will be threadbare
and I find that I haven't got time anymore
to sit with my children and talk for a while
show them that there's time for a smile
and the world won't end tomorrow
money can't buy love ..chorus
