Empty Rooms

Empty rooms, childhood's end Forgotten toys upon the bed Dreams and memories are all around me now And I can see you everywhere I look

But moving on is what you must do Find your way, be happy to Your world is waiting now and you need never know Of all these places that I go

To hear the laughter and dry the tears Remembering all the years When you were growing up And every photograph can take me there

We brought you up to be proud and strong And ready for anything Oh little child of mine What life can bring

Empty rooms when I left home I could not wait to be moving on I never thought so much about those left behind But now I know how it has to be

To hear the laughter and dry the tears Remembering all the years When you were growing up And every photograph still takes me there

We brought you up to be proud and strong In everything that you do Oh little child of mine I miss you Oh little child of mine I love you I love you
