(Holmes/Horsey, additional lyrics by Carly Simon)
I know I'm not what you wanted
Not what you had in mind
And I didn't come close
To the mark You'd set
For the girl you'd planned to find
You've never seen me cry
We shared but idle words
And a casual goodbye
And what shall we do with the child
Who's got your eyes
My hair
And your smile
Reminding me that we fell in love
But just for a little while
You never asked about the girl you never knew
And while she was sleeping in my arms
She never asked about you
Without you seems the only way
But time has passed and now
She'll soon be asking questions
And she'll ask about you
And how
Shall I say to the child
Who's got your eyes, my hair, your smile
Reminding me that we fell in love
But just for a little while
What shall we do with the child
Who's got your eyes, my hair, your smile
The lyrics WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THE CHILD of CARLY SIMON is also present in the album Torch (1981)
Carly Elisabeth Simon (1945) è una cantautrice americana di grande successo, nota per la sua voce calda e melodie evocative. Iniziò la sua carriera negli anni '60, collaborando con artisti come James Taylor, suo marito all'epoca. Il suo album di debutto del 1971, "Carly Simon", conteneva il singolo "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be", che le valse un successo immediato. Tra i suoi brani più famosi figurano "You're So Vain" (1972), una canzone enigmatica che ha generato numerose speculazioni sul suo soggetto, e "Anticipation" (1971). Simon è stata premiata con numerosi Grammy Award e ha venduto milioni di dischi in tutto il mondo. Oltre alla musica, si è dedicata anche alla scrittura di libri per bambini e romanzi.
