Lessons Learned From A Child
by Dick & Mel Tunney

Album: The Treasure of Belonging

It's bedtime now, and after prayers are said
I tuck my little girl deep in her bed
And before the lights are out, she says
"Can you stay a little longer, please?"
And though the clothes need folding
And there's dishes to do
I think to myself, "These days are few
This time spent now will see us through"
Oh, the lessons learned from a child

On a day that should've been free from care
She lost her favorite teddy bear
And we looked all over everywhere
But never found that special friend
And though my baby has a new one now
She'll always be true to her worn out pal
And never stop hoping to find him somehow
Oh, the lessons learned from a child

I want to learn all there is to know
'Cause they're small for just a little while
Let me have the faith to see
Through the eyes of a child

I want to learn all there is to know
'Cause they're small for just a little while
Let me have the faith to see
Through the eyes of a child

As I hold my daughter close to me
I feel her trust and her loyalty
She's taught me what love is supposed to be
Oh, the lessons learned from a child
Oh, the lessons learned from a child
