"We could sometimes see our days,
as through the eyes of a child."
We all love children's innocence, laughter and giggles through their no-cares-of-the-world pranks. And most of all, look through their eyes. How we miss those years, those wonderful childhood fond memories that Mark Twain talked about in his famous children's books.
I've loved this song Through the Eyes of a Child many moons ago. I posted about it five years back - here. In recent years, the song started creeping within after I felt affinity with a toddler I've spotted in his wonderful mother's loving arms on her online profile. Little by little, this kind of 'kinship' from a distance has been slowly unraveling. Now, he has grown up to be a winsome child and my soft spot remains... for you, Ned. (29 April 2019)
Performed by Percy Faith & Female Chorus

THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD
Performed by Percy Faith & Female Chorus
Music by: Émile Stern, Lyrics by: Eddy Marnay
The wide eyes of a child
Look upon a world reborn
See the glory of a rose
That never bears a thorn.
The wide eyes of a child
Can invent a laughing moon
And the orange sun leaps high
Just as a floating toy balloon.
He clearly sees
The flower and the bird
Whose thoughts he knows
Without needing any word.
And any child can hear
Ringing laughter from a stream
Hear the music of the heart
To us a half-forgotten dream.
(In sleep he hears
The star's distant song
Oh, may its wonder last
For his whole life long...)
If we had vision too
As we stumble on our ways
We could sometimes see our days
As through the eyes of a child.
(Originally recorded by Frida Boccara in French, "Un Jour, Un Enfant". )
