Today, I sat alone at the window And I watched our little children outside at playWith the little boy next door Like so many times beforeBut something didn't seem quite right todaySo I went outside to see what they were doingAnd then the teardrops made my eyes grow ***As I heard them playing a gameAnd I heard them playing a gameAnd I hung my heavy chainWhen I heard our little girl say to himI don't want a playhouseI know it makes me cryI've watched Mommy and DaddyAnd if that's the way it's goneI don't want a playhouseIt makes me cryIt makes my Mommy cryCause when she played houseMy Daddy said goodbyeI don't want a playhouseI know it can't be funI've watched Mommy and DaddyAnd if that's the way it's goneI don't want a playhouseIt makes my Mommy cryCause when she played houseMy Daddy said goodbye
