The morning light comes softly through my window
I hold my cup of tea and watch the day
I see my children hurry through the cold wind
And all I do is pray their pain away
Their shoulders bent beneath the weight they're carrying
They never stop they never rest their feet
I want to run to them and hold them tightly
And give them back the childhood oh so sweet
I watch you from my window
With love too deep to speak
You work so hard my darlings
Day after day
Week after week
If only you could see you
Through these old eyes of mine
You are the greatest treasure
a treasure so divine
The evening comes I light a little candle
I set a place for all of you to eat
Although you're far my door is always open
You'll always have a place to rest your feet
I watch you from my window
with love too deep to speak
You work so hard my darlings
Day after day
week after week
If only you could see you
through these old eyes of mine
You are the greatest treasure
a treasure so divine
Please slow down a little
Please take care of you
All the gold in the world is not worth losing you
I'll be here at my window waiting loving watching you
Always and forever my heart belongs to you
