Folder:
Scribbles on Life Lost in the innocence of yesterday,
Hearts so trusting and unscarred,
Childhood games we used to play,
Hiding and seeking in the backyard.
Hearts so trusting and unscarred,
The whole world, one big jungle gym,
Hiding and seeking in the backyard,
While perched upon a sycamore limb.
The whole world, one big jungle gym,
Filled with youthful dreams of love,
While perched upon a sycamore limb,
As baby birds twittered from up above.
Filled with youthful dreams of love,
Hopes for what the future would bring,
As baby birds twittered from up above,
Safely tucked under mama's wing.
Hopes for what the future would bring,
Life seemed so much simpler then,
Safely tucked under mama's wing,
Oh how I can remember when.
Life seemed so much simpler then,
Eager to spread your wings and fly,
Oh how I can remember when
The days of youth flew swiftly by.
Eager to spread your wings and fly,
Adulthood not yet, by far, begun,
The days of youth flew swiftly by,
Like popcicles melting in the sun.
Adulthood not yet, by far, begun,
Childhood games we used to play,
Like popcicles melting in the sun,
Lost in the innocence of yesterday.
