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
To ever let it go this far
So darling where ever you are, come back
And save the children
If not for me, do it for them
Save the little children
Don't make them suffer
For our sins
Don't leave them daddyless
Just cause we can't get it right
I know we could clean up this mess
If you could just see them sleeping tonight
I was such a fool
To ever let it go this far
So darling where ever you are, come back
Save the little children 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
To ever let it go this far
So darling where ever you are, come back
And save the children
If not for me, do it for them
Save the little children
Don't make them suffer
For our sins
Don't leave them daddyless
Just cause we can't get it right
I know we could clean up this mess
If you could just see them sleeping tonight
I was such a fool
To ever let it go this far
So darling where ever you are, come back
Save the little children
