Carly Simon What Shall We do With the Child? song lyrics

I know I'm not what you wanted not what you had in mind

And I didn't come close to the mark you'd set

For the girl you'd planned to find

Though we often laugh together you've never seen me cry

We shared but idle words and a casual goodbye

And what shall we do with the child?

Who's got your eyes my hair and your smile

Reminding me that we fell in love

But just for a little while

You never asked about the girl you never knew

And while she was sleeping in my arms

She never asked about you without you seems the only way

But time has passed and now she'll soon be asking questions

And she'll ask about you and how shall I say to the child

Who's got your eyes, my hair, your smile

Reminding me that we fell in love but just for a little while

What shall we do with the child?

Who's got your eyes, my hair and your smile
