INTRO:
USED TO FLY------LIKE A BIRD------ON THE WINGS OF WIND
I’VE PLAYED------IN THE SUN------WITH A JOY DEEP WITHIN
I HAD LAUGHTER------AS A BOY------AND A SWEET FOR MY TOOTH,
IN THE BEAUTYFUL DAYS------OF MY YOUTH.
------
EVERY ONE------THAT I MET------WAS A FRIEND----NOT A FOE
THE FEARS------I HAD LEARNED------WAY BACK THEN----I DIDN’T KNOW
NOT ONE DEED----MEANT UNKIND,----OR ONE THOUGHT UNCOUNTH
IN THE BEAUTIFUL DAYS-------OF MY YOUTH.
BRIDGE:
THE TIME----QUICKLY PASSED,----THE YEARS TRAVLLED ON
THE HOPES,----AND THE DREAMS,----HAVE DIMINISHED AND GONE.
-------
NOW THE CHILD------THAT I FACE,------HOW FAMILIAR HE SEEMS
HE’S WEARING----MY EYES------AND HE’S LIVING MY DREAMS
OH MY INNOCENT CHILD, I’LL SPARE THEE UNTRUTHS
IN THE MAGICAL DAYS, THE SWEET CANDY DAYS,
THE BEAUTIFUL DAYS OF MY YOUTH.
-------
RUN CHILD RUN,------SEE THE SUN
LAUGH CHILD LAUGH,-----LIKE THE WIND
AND SING CHILD,------------SING
