My Special Child (2009 Remastered Version)

Think about my little girl

Her yellow skin and her dark curl

And how her father's heart was frozen

I spoke to her, and I said:

"You won't regret the mother you have chosen."

I lied

Where's she tonight?I left him

Now we're apart

And I think about his cruel heart

And how his lies have left mine broken

To think that I spoke to him, then I said:

"She won't regret the father she has chosen."

I lied

Where's he tonight?You were precious to me

After all I called you into being

I wanted you to know that

Yes, you were precious to meAnd I miss my little boy

I strayed away

So far away

And I need him tonight

To feel his hands around my face

His loving eyes

His happy face

Would be so right
