When I Was Superman
Used to save the day I used to fly across the big sky
Used to wear a cape – and race the bullets when I ran
But the comic books are gone and all the toys are in the closet
Still remember long ago when I was Superman
Used to show him that – the world was big but I was bigger
He would hold my heart – and let me guide him with his hand
And every day we played he laughed with awe and fascination
I was everything to him, I was his Superman
Little boys keep searching for their heroes
Gaze into the sky with eyes so wide
But little boys grow up and only dads know
That comic books can lie, and fantasies can die
Whats a man to do when time has passed – the storys ending
Who can be a hero when hes lost his biggest fan
And turning back the clock wont change the world not like I used to
But I would do it all again to be his Superman
I would do it all again to be his Superman
