When I Was a Boy
When I was a baby I hadn't a care in the world
But now I'm a man, my troubles fill my head
When I was five it was good to be alive
But now I'm a man, I wish that I were dead
My how time rushes by
The moment you're born you start to die
Time waits for no man
And your life's spent, it's over before you begin
As I sit here at my window
My life comes back to me
It's been so long since the good days
It's been so long
And I count up all the wasted years
The hopes and the fears
The laughs and the tears
And I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what went wrong
When I was a boy I had the mind of a boy
But now I'm a man, ain't got no mind at all
When I was in my teens I had my share of dreams
But now I'm a man, ain't got no dreams at all
My how time rushes by
The moment you're born you start to die
Time waits for no man
And your life's spent, it's over before you begin
As I sit here at my window
My life comes back to me
It's been so long since the good days
It's been so long
And I count up all the wasted years
The hopes and the fears
The laughs and the tears
And I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what went wrong
But now I'm a man, my troubles fill my head
When I was five it was good to be alive
But now I'm a man, I wish that I were dead
My how time rushes by
The moment you're born you start to die
Time waits for no man
And your life's spent, it's over before you begin
As I sit here at my window
My life comes back to me
It's been so long since the good days
It's been so long
And I count up all the wasted years
The hopes and the fears
The laughs and the tears
And I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what went wrong
When I was a boy I had the mind of a boy
But now I'm a man, ain't got no mind at all
When I was in my teens I had my share of dreams
But now I'm a man, ain't got no dreams at all
My how time rushes by
The moment you're born you start to die
Time waits for no man
And your life's spent, it's over before you begin
As I sit here at my window
My life comes back to me
It's been so long since the good days
It's been so long
And I count up all the wasted years
The hopes and the fears
The laughs and the tears
And I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what went wrong
