Lyrics

Sparkle in Your Eye

Verse 1
Little boy dancing ‘round the fire, eyes shine bright you never seem to tire
Of runnin’ and playin’, it never seems the same to you
Tuck you into bed, you’re so tired, going ‘round in your head, your heart’s desire
You feel everything, it’s always spring to you. For now

Chorus
The world goes by yet the sparkle in your eye doesn’t change
You’re still young and you haven’t yet seen the pain
We’ve sheltered you from the world’s shame,
If I could help you stay young I’d do it son, but I can’t,
If I could help you stay young I’d do it son, but I can’t

Verse 2
You mixed your hands in with the rays of the sun, I heard you say you think it would be fun
To catch the floating dust sparkles in the air
You twirled about, then you’d run, it’s really great to see one
Who’s full of laughter and always has room to care

Chorus 2
The world goes by yet the sparkle in your eye doesn’t change
You’re still young and you haven’t yet lived the pain
We’ve sheltered you from the world’s shame
Keep the faith of the young when you’re older son, I’ve prayed
Keep the faith of the young when you’re older son, I’ve prayed
Keep the faith of the young when you’re older son, I’ve prayed
Keep the faith of the young, when you’re older son, …I’ve knelt & prayed.
