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, wherever you are, come back[Chorus:]
And save the children
If not for me, do it for them
Save the little children
Don't make them suffer
For our sinsDon't leave them daddy-less
Just 'cause we can't get it right
I know we could clean up this mess
If you could just see them sleeping tonightI was such a fool
To ever let it go this far
So, darling, wherever you are, come back[Chorus]Save the little children
