When You Were A Child

When you were a child

I called you my own

And you were mine

When you were a child

You could not stand alone

But you were fine



I want to know that child again

Maybe time has changed you

But love remembers when

You called my name and like the wind

I carried you away

It seems like only yesterday

When you were a child



When you were a child

The world was the unknown

But you were wise

To simply trust in me

That I will never leave

And hold on tight
