Lyrics
WHERE HAVE ALL MY CHILDREN GONE?
Verse 1
Where have all my children gone
Gone away - away from home
There are times I miss them so
It's no easy to let go
Verse 2
They were never mine - they just came through me
Now's the time to let them be
I know they're happy on their own
I just wish that they'd call home
Bridge 1
I have a life with friends old and new
I'm never wanting for more things to do
Verse 3
But I think about them every day
A mother's love never fades away
Bridge 2
I have a life with friends far and near
Still there are times when I'm longing to hear
Verse 4
The sound of their footsteps down the hall
And their voices when they call
I think about them every day
A mother's love never fades away
