When You Were A Child

When you were a child
Your mother said she'll care for you
And keep you straight in line

When you were a child
The world was all right there for you
And everything took its time

Now you're gone and the memory fades away

When you were a child
Your friends, they all surrounded you
And everything seemed all right

When you were a child
Your lifetime's up ahead of you
And the sun was always bright

Now you're gone and the memory fades away
Now you're gone and they tell you what to say

When you were a child
You never felt responsible
For anything at all

When you were a child
Yeah, everything was possible
There's someone to catch your fall

Now you're gone and the memory fades away
Now you're gone and they tell you what to say
