When You Were A Child

When you were a child

Your mother said she'll care for you

And keep you straight in line

When you were a child

The world was all right there for you

And everything took its time

Now you're gone and the memory fades away

When you were a child

Your friends they all surrounded you

And everything seemed all right

When you were a child

Your lifetime's up ahead of you

And the sun was always bright

Now you're gone and the memory fades away

Now you're gone and they tell you what to say

When you were a child

You never felt responsible

For anything at all

When you were a child

Yeah everything was possible

There's someone to catch your fall

Now you're gone and the memory fades away

Now you're gone and they tell you what to say
