There was a time when life was simple,
back when I was younger.
People cared and days were long,
back when I was younger.
My thoughts were fanciful,
My future delightful,
My friends plentiful,
back when I was younger.
Today I see things differently than
back when I was younger.
My heart yearns mightily and my memories take me
back to when I was younger.
And yet those younger years,
though filled with happy times,
were also touched with pain...
the pain of being younger.
