Nana Mouskouri - Taking A Child By The Hand lyrics

rate me

Taking a child by the hand

Teaching him just how to stand

So he'll accept what tomorrow may bring

Taking a child for a king

Taking a child in your arms

And as you feel your heart sing

Drying his tears as you're letting him cling

Taking a child for a king

Taking a child to your heart

Soothing away his distress

Softly in silence to soothe and caress

Taking a child to your heart

Taking a child in your arms

And as you feel your heart sing

Tears start to fall as you're letting him cling

Taking a child for a king

Taking a child by the hand

Singing him nursery rhymes

So that he'll sleep at the end of the day

Singing his troubles away

Taking a child to your breast

Soothing away his unrest

And looking on to the future you've planned

Taking a child by the hand

Years on your own, now no longer alone

Taking a child for your own
