Saw Ms. Peters on television years ago, may have been the 80's, but probably the 90's, but cannot remember what show it was.

She was dressed in a long gown/dress, I think.

The song was slow & melancholy, a woman pining for a man. Don't remember if it was a "he's in love with someone else" or a "he doesn't know I'm alive" kind of regret.

The only words I remember are the end of a line: "children, one a year".

(Yep, that's it. Kinda hard to find on a web search with so little to go on.)

This song has haunted me for YEARS. I sure hope someone can help me with this.

Thanks all!

This is just a guess but was it "Should've Never Let Him Go"?

Here is a link to a sound clip. It's on her "Bernadette" CD.

If this isn't the song, I would imagine you would have a good chance of finding it on her Bernadette CD as all those songs are pretty much pining for a lost love type of song.

Looked up the lyrics to all the songs on that cd, unfortunately, none are the song I'm looking for. Thanks anyway.

Right now the only songs I can think of that Bernadette has sung containing the word "children" are "Children Will Listen" and "Children and Art" but neither of those are about a woman pining for a man. Songs along those lines that she sang in the 90s on TV would be: What'll Do, Not a Day Goes By, Send in the Clowns, What's the Use of Wonderin', I'm a Fool to Want You.
