There's a cold wind blowing in my mind,
Now I'm thinking about the wonderful time,
Here at home, all together we shine,
Now you're gone and we miss you, your mother and I keep on
Turning, turning, around and around,
In circles turning, heads hanging down,
We keep turning, turning, fighting the tears as they rise, in our eyes to cry,
We all love you and know that you've grown,
You're a young man with a life of your own,
We must learn as we turn the pages of time,
And keep writing for days when the Sun doesn't shine in your heart ...
When it's dark, there's a light always shining,
To guide you to us, where'er you may be,
Play your part in life and never forget,
You can count on the love of your mother and me,
Keep on turning, learning, from all that you see,
All your ups and downs, and scars on your knees,
Think of happiness each time your heart is in pain,
We'll soon see you again.
We keep turning, turning, around and around,
In circles turning, heads hanging down,
Turning, turning, fighting the tears as they rise, in our eyes to cry ...
