Time Changes Things

There's a pregnant woman in a TV commer- cial ad Who's crooning to the baby writing a letter to it both sad and glad Then with tears coursing down the cheeks She announces the waiting's over in few more weeks In perhaps 15 years give or take a few She's got more tears and now is in an angry stew Where has that damn kid gone is he in trouble again? She has forgotten the feelings she had back then
