My children were drawing some pictures And each had a pencil in hand And I could hear Christy tell Jimmy In words that he'd understand Now this is our house, see the windows Now you draw the sun in the sky But when they drew Mommy and Daddy Little Christy started to cry She said, turn the pencil over Erase the sun from the sky Now this is a cloud, see it's raining These are tears in Daddy's eyes So turn the pencil over I guess it's time to begin To erase her out of the picture I picked up both of my babies And I got them ready for bed Then I picked up those pencils and papers And remembered what Christy had said She said, turn the pencil over Erase the sun from the sky Now this is a cloud, see it's raining These are tears in Daddy's eyes So turn the pencil over I guess it's time to begin To erase her out of the picture Mommy's gone again So erase her out of our picture Mommy's gone again
