L'enfant ( the Child )
Once in a lifetime a child is born
And as you gaze at its helpless form
You see your fathers' eyes, your mothers' smile
It takes you back in time a while
You hold that child close to your heart
A new life, a new start
All of your hopes, all your dreams
In that small bundle, it seems
Once in a lifetime, a child becomes an adult
And you feel the pride from the result
Of all its' toil and sweat
As it prospers, giving its' best
Once in a lifetime, that child finds love
And your heart flies like a dove
Soaring on clouds of happiness
Knowing that your song has passed the test
Once in its lifetime that child will sing that song
That your parents passed along
And as it gazes on that helpless form
It'll be your eyes and smile that will be worn
