lyrics

SWING SWING CHILD
THE TIME IS STILL
THE DAYS GONE BY
MIDNIGHT MOON IS HIGH
AND STARS STILL LIGHT THE SKY
SWING SWING CHILD
WILL YOU EVER REALLY LEARN TO FLY

THE LEAVES ARE GREEN
WITH BROWN TREES
BIRDS IN THE SKY
WITH THE BUZZING BEES
SWING SWING CHILD
THIS LIFE IS GONNA PASS YOU BY

WHEN HEAVENS CRY
AND A STORM IS NEAR
DONT SHUT YOUR EYES
DONT SHED A TEAR
SWING SWING CHILD
THIS LIFE IS GONNA PASS YOU BY

SWING SWING CHILD
THE TIME IS STILL
THE DAYS GONE BY
MIDNIGHT MOON IS HIGH
AND STARS STILL LIGHT THE SKY
SWING SWING CHILD
WILL YOU EVER REALLY LEARN TO FLY
