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
   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, your smile
