 "I wanna see Christmas through your eyes,
I want everything to be the way it used to be,
Back to being a child again, thinking the world was mine,
I wanna see Christmas, Christmas through your eyes."


There is beauty in a child's perspective /innocence - as explained in this article:
https://hubpages.com/family/The-beauty-of-a-childs-innocence

We grow up and we discover the world can be a cold, dark, evil place. We lose a lot of the innocence. We are also expected to behave as mature adults (be responsible, make/handle difficult decisions, and so on). Many adults would like to experience some "childhood wonder and dreaming" from time to time.

A struggle for some parents is how much information/knowledge to pass on to a very young child. Woulld they lose their innocence too early? This article discusses the struggle: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationopinion/11384246/Too-much-information-destroys-childhood-innocence.html

There is always tomorrow.....

From the song 'Always Tomorrow' by Gloria Estefan:

If I could do it all again, my life would be
Infinitely better than before, I wouldn't waste a moment,
Make time for laughing with my friends,
Make love, make music, make amends,
Try to make a difference, try to love, try to understand,
Instead of just givin' up, I'd use the power at my command.

But there's always tomorrow to start over again,
Things will never stay the same.
The only one sure thing is change,
That's why there's always tomorrow.

From Gloria Estefan's song 'Words Get In The Way':

But the words get in the way,
There's so much I want to say,
But it's locked deep inside and if you look in my eyes,
We might fall in love again.
I won't even start to cry, and before we say goodbye,
I tried to say "I love you"
But the words got in the way.
