barry manilow - and what do you see? lyrics

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?
