I remember when i was a child,
Back when dirt was cool,
All the adventures we had
All the foes we conquered
And all the fun we shared

I remember when i was a child,
Back when boys had cooties,
Our excitment as school appeared
Bringing a bounty of all things new

I remember when i was a child,
Back when angels had faces,
The days stretched on and on
Blurring from cold to hot, hot to cold
The days a passing friend

I remember, oh how i remember
Back when i was i child
The love for life in the air,
The never ending curiousity,
And dreams for the future
