and what do you see?

Singer: barry manilow

every day

as i sit and stare through my window

i look out

at a world that's tearing apart

this is what i see

and what do you see?

time goes by

and the times get worse

through my window

still i watch

as the madness darkens the heart

this is what i see. and what do you see?

tell me how do we live in a world

that is crumbling away

and be happy

as we are today?

still i watch

as i pin my hopes on the future

still i wait

wond'ring what in heaven will be

is this an ending

or a beginning

that i see?

and what do you see?

and at times it appears that our happiness

hangs by a thread

can we hold on

through what lies ahead?

people say

i should turn away

from the window

all the worry

in all the world doesn't pay

and still i wonder

what kind of future

starts this way?

for you. and me. and what do you see?
