Watching children play

They were young and so in love
and walked in the park all day
happy just to be together
watching the children play

she was very ill one day
there was nothing they could do
he went to the park to think and pray
and watch the children play

he missed her gentle touch
her pleasant company
now he's all alone
watching the children play

he went to the park to pray for her
he laid his weary head to rest
they came to carry him away
never to watch the children play

looking down from heaven now
there together for eternity
doing what they enjoyed on earth
just watching the children play
