When I Was A Child

When I was a child
So wild and free
Sometimes Id stumbled
Or fall from a tree
But I didnt worry
And I didnt care
I knew that my daddy
Would always be there
Oh, he was my friend
When no one could make
Never too busy
Oh, hed find a way
Then off we would rambled
With the wind in our hair
I knew that my daddy
Would always be there
But time has no mercy
For a growing young soul
It leaves us with memories
While it makes us grow old
I left my heart
When school days were through
With visions of freedom
Oh, when dreams do come true
Ive never worried
And Ive never cared
I knew that my daddy
Would always be there
One night while traveling
Word came by phone
The message was simple
Youre needed at home
So once I did worry
For once I did care
I prayed that my daddy would wait for me there
Time has no mercy
For the growing young soul
It leaves us with memories
While it makes us grow old
But time has no mercy
For the growing young soul
It leaves us with memories
While it makes us grow old
While it makes us grow old
