When I Was A Child

When I was a child

So wild and free

Sometimes I'd stumbled

Or fall from a tree

But I didn't worry

And I didn't care

I knew that my daddy

Would always be there

Oh, he was my friend

When no one could make

Never too busy

Oh, he'd find a way

Then off we would rambled

With the wind in our hair

I knew that my daddy

Would always be there

But time has no mercy

For a growing young soul

It leaves us with memories

While it makes us grow old

I left my heart

When school days were through

With visions of freedom

Oh, when dreams do come true

I've never worried

And I've never cared

I knew that my daddy

Would always be there

One night while traveling

Word came by phone

The message was simple

You're needed at home

So once I did worry

For once I did care

I prayed that my daddy would wait for me there

Time has no mercy

For the growing young soul

It leaves us with memories

While it makes us grow old

But time has no mercy

For the growing young soul

It leaves us with memories

While it makes us grow old

While it makes us grow old
