G C G Standing at the window of your life C D G Looking out as far as I can see C D Each day brings a new scene Em C different from that last C D G Unfolding like a flower in the sun G C When the window first was opened, G C I never left you side, Em C Each breath and laugh a wonder, G (D) To behold Soon I had to share the window, With others in your life Watching on to see your Life begin Chorus Now I come to the window, Every moment I can spare, But there’s so many windows that need watching. First steps, first words and Birthdays, seem to flicker Past the pane If only I could hold Them in suspension. Chorus Now when I come to the window, I seldom catch your eye, there is books And teachers friends and complications Soon you’ll be staring, at windows of your own, I hope you’ll still Have time to visit at my widow. Chorus One day the glass will crack and fall, All stained with time and waste, But I’ll still be here looking into the distance How much time we have before the pane Is never really known, So we must treasure every moment at the window. Chorus
