Chorus

Hey child, wash away your tears

Hang on 'til tomorrow comes

'Cause it will soon be here

Hey child, don't give up today

Gotta be some good times baby

Not too far away



Child, love don't come easily

And child, don't be afraid to feel

'Cause the time's gonna come

(Time's gonna come)

When you're gonna go

(You're gonna go)

And my only advice

Is to live your life your own way

I'm here for you

'Til my dying day



Chorus



Child, don't be a fool for love

'Cause child, it will come soon enough

Like a mind needs a dream

(Mind needs a dream)

And a song needs a theme

(Song needs a theme)

Every heart needs a home

To express just how it feels

I'm there for you

'Til my dying day



Chorus



Yeah come on yeah
