When I Was a Child lyrics

When I was a child

I thought as a child

My dreams were my kingdom

My shrine

I thought as child

And I dreamed as a child

And the world that I lived in

Was mine!

But all that I planned

All those castles of sand

Disappeared,disappeared

long ago

I search but in vein

For the joys

That remain of the days I used to know

For thee one in school

For the child not a fool

A child who was wise'ey

Then I...

For love was her dream

And her love was supreme

And for love just hurts

She would die

But today

I have lived

And my love can be spread

And my dreams can be doomed

And If I'd...yes I'll do it today

And I'm sad in a way

Sad that I'm no longer

A child
