To Thee I Bid Farewell

Flipping on the tele watch cartoons all day
Making the toys come to life in your own way
You were only six and had no fear or care
Your imagination's vast just like the universe

Like a distant dream
But not forgotten
A moment's gleam
That can't be spoken

It's over now
So long, farewell
I wish I could stay with you
But time won't just pull us through
The days in the sun
The times we had fun
Where nobody else can see
The bond that we shared, you and me

Remembering the time when I had bright ideas
"Mom, I'm gonna build a time machine!", I said
I was small but I had big ambitions then
Now I think that's only fools who play pretend

You were so naive
Lost in your world
If I could turn back time
And just remain there

It's over now
So long, farewell
I wish I could stay with you
But time won't just pull us through
Those days are long gone
Adulthood has dawn
But I'm glad I was in your shoes
If I ever was good, it was you
