When I Was a Child lyrics

When I was child, not so long ago Life was full of make believe, toys upon the floor Living in a world, everything was new Lollipops and rainbows, picture books and glue And summer days were long and the skies were always blue When nothing seemed to matter then, not even you Growing old was far away, so many things to do When I was a child the days went by I didn't count them all, did you? Then the time went on, I grew up so fast Then I found my young girl's dream coming true at last For I fell in love I fell in love with you And I'm just as happy now Childhood days are through When I see our children's toys upon the floor I still remember when I was a child once more Nothing really changes now For life goes on the same 'Cause when I was a child the only difference is that it's a bigger game than when I was a child When I see our children's toys upon the floor I still remember when I was a child once more Nothing really changes now For life goes on the same 'Cause when I was a child the only difference is that it's a bigger game than when I was a child
