When You Were A Child
When you were a child
Your mother said she'll care for you
And keep you straight in line
When you were a child
The world was all right there for you
And everything took its time
Now you're gone and the memory fades away
When you were a child
Your friends, they all surrounded you
And everything seemed all right
When you were a child
Your lifetime's up ahead of you
And the sun was always bright
Now you're gone and the memory fades away
Now you're gone and they tell you what to say
When you were a child
You never felt responsible
For anything at all
When you were a child
Yeah, everything was possible
There's someone to catch your fall
Now you're gone and the memory fades away
Now you're gone and they tell you what to say
