When we were young
we had fun
wrote so many songs
about the sun
like a beggar
waiting for a man
old but we ain't
undone
back then it was
from the heart
no money to buy a shirt
music was true and
they were sold
things changed as I
grew old
Spent hours staring
at the trees
closed my eyes to
enjoy the breeze
wrote down how great
I felt
as I saw the ice
caps melt
Growing up was
lightening fast
my songs were only I
could trust
for they knew how I
loved to rock
and how I felt on a
lonely walk
My hair
has become white now
I remember taking a vow
my music will always be true
which only my songs knew I remember the paintings I drew
of a leaf with a drop of dew
wrote songs on the same sheet
as the earth felt my bare feet
back then it was
from the heart
no money but wore a
fancy shirt
music was true and
they were sold
things changed as I
grew old
