I
remember clearly
Childhood days I treasure dearly
Memories remind me
All the happiness behind me
Children on a seesaw
Throwing pebbles by the seashore
I remember still A meadow on a hill
Where once I used to run
The summers and the sun
But all they didn't last
Those days went much too fast And now I miss them so
Where did the time go?
I recall the good times
Those sentimental sandalwood times
Winter nights and warm July days
And I wonder why now
I never see a butterfly now Waste too many hours
No time to smell the flowers Or taste the gentle fawn
Of summers and the sun Oh no, they didn't last
And now I miss them so Where did the time all go?
Sadly,
as the time goes We lose the innocence a child knows
I remember so well The simple wonder of a seashell
Catching fish in wild streams And
dreaming dreams that every child dreams
Life was simple then They'll never come again
