When I Was a Child
When I was a child I thought as a child
My dreams were my kingdom, my shrine
I thought as child and I dreamed as a child
And the world that I lived in was mine
But all that I planned, all those castles of sand
Disappeared, disappeared long ago
I search but in vain for the joys that remain
Of the days I used to know
For there while in school was a child, not a fool
A child who was wiser than I
For love was her dream and her love was supreme
And for love such as hers, she would die
But today I have learned that my love can be spurned
And my dreams can be doomed
And if I'll ... yes I'm older today
And I'm sad in a way, sad that I'm no longer
A child
My dreams were my kingdom, my shrine
I thought as child and I dreamed as a child
And the world that I lived in was mine
But all that I planned, all those castles of sand
Disappeared, disappeared long ago
I search but in vain for the joys that remain
Of the days I used to know
For there while in school was a child, not a fool
A child who was wiser than I
For love was her dream and her love was supreme
And for love such as hers, she would die
But today I have learned that my love can be spurned
And my dreams can be doomed
And if I'll ... yes I'm older today
And I'm sad in a way, sad that I'm no longer
A child
