I Wonder (when I smell flowers)

little bird with blossoms

I Wonder (when I smell flowers)

How can our hearts

Beat as one

On the day

Innocence is gone

When part after part is rotten to the bone,

And everywhere dark touches leaves love losing us

Alone

Some mornings don't fit

Into the day before it's done

A moment lasts forever

For a mother and her son

And fathers little girl

Will not run through the door

With laughter, hugs and kisses

Any more, any more

Listen...

Can you hear the children play

There are voices in the breeze today

And if we listen carefully

They will be more than a memory

Time does not take love away

Love keeps the heart beating

And slowly finds the rhythm of the wind

In the air that we all share

I wonder when I smell flowers

And hear the ripples in the trees

If my brothers and my sisters

Are not still here with me
