Lyrics

Who knows where flowers go,
When the snow outside is falling.
Who knows why embers glow,
When the wise night owl is calling.

I have asked a thousand times,
But I think I always knew,
God knows how much that I love you.

Who knows why roosters crow,
When a brand new day is dawning.
Who knows where daylight goes,
When a sleepy child is yawning.

I have asked a thousand times,
And did all that I could do,
God knows how much that I love you.

One day,
Someday,
I can imagine,
That you,
Will be,
Everything I know,
I could ever hope for.

Free now,
Dream now,
Tonight,
Of the day,
That you will,
Grow up,
Drifting,
Slipping,
Away.

Who knows how many stars,
In an evening sky are shining.
Who knows how bright you are,
With a laugh of silver lining.

I have asked a thousand times,
But I think I always knew,
God knows how much that I love you.


One day,
Someday,
I can imagine,
That you,
Will be,
Everything I know,
I could ever hope for.

Free now,
Dream now,
Tonight,
Of the day,
That you will,
Grow up,
Drifting,
Drifting,
Slipping,
Away.

?Till then my snugglebug,
Close your eyes and keep on dreaming.
That day when you grow up,
You will know life?s precious meaning,

I have asked a thousand times,
But I think that when I?m through,
God knew how much that I,
Sleep now my baby child,
God knew how much that I loved you.
