Their Young Eyes Shine

from Shy Girl EP by Jess Klein

/

lyrics

I watch the children play and I wonder
What if they were mine
Would I let their light pull me under
Laughing all the time
Would I jump with them on the trampoline
Would I catch them when they fell down crying
Would I know enough to never know too much
When I saw their young eyes shine

With their hopes so high and the longest sigh
Parents choose our names
But when we arrive, how we fight
Being called the same
Til the moment when we no longer can
Bring ourselves to judge them for the question put above them
Would we know enough to never know too much
When we saw their young eyes shine
Would you look at me running round a tree
Free as I was then
Would you trust in me and the world I’ve seen
To take care of them
When they went away, would we always stay
Young as they would have us be
Young as all eternity
Would we know enough to never know too much
When we saw their young eyes shine
Would we know enough to never know too much
When we saw their young eyes shine
When we saw their young eyes shine
