About The Children - Tom Paxton[00:00:00]

The conversation pauses[00:00:09]

While the waiter pours our tea[00:00:12]

This timely interruption is a great relief to me[00:00:14]

I wish he'd stay all day I'd never have to say[00:00:19]

About the children[00:00:26]

You're looking really lovely[00:00:38]

And the dress is really you[00:00:41]

The necklace I remember[00:00:43]

But the bracelet must be new[00:00:45]

But that's another day [00:00:48]

I clear my throat and say[00:00:51]

About the children[00:00:54]

Oh they'll be away at school [00:00:57]

They'll have the camps to go to[00:00:59]

And they're much too young[00:01:03]

To know how hard it is to go through[00:01:05]

Ah these were to be the years for us[00:01:10]

Making love in the afternoon[00:01:12]

No worries anymore about the children[00:01:15]

The conversation's civilized [00:01:31]

We calmly nod our heads[00:01:34]

You're smiling as you always do[00:01:36]

But your napkin is in shreds[00:01:39]

You'd like to run away oh [00:01:42]

Who'd be the first to say[00:01:45]

About the children[00:01:48]

Oh they'll be away at school [00:01:51]

They'll have the camps to go to[00:01:53]

And they're much too young to know[00:01:57]

How hard it is to go through[00:01:59]

Ah these were to be the years for us[00:02:03]

Making love in the afternoon[00:02:05]

No worries anymore about the children[00:02:09]

The conversation's civilized [00:02:16]

We calmly nod our heads[00:02:18]

You're smiling as you always do[00:02:20]

But your napkin is in shreds[00:02:23]

You'd like to run away oh [00:02:26]

Who'd be the first to say[00:02:29]

About the children[00:02:32]
