Tennis ball and a catcher's mitt
I remember that boy throwing it
High up in the air then catching it
While the oak tree leaves cheeredOh, look at me now, all grown up looking back again
Sitting here wondering where the time all went
What do I know now that I didn't know then
Not muchOh, look at me know
On the fifty-first floor looking down on it all
With my name on the door and degree on the wall
Yeah, look at me nowI did everything right, but I got it all wrong
Heaven please forgive me for taking so long
You see, all that I've done it doesn't matter at all
It's what I leave here when I'm goneOh, look at me now
Where is that young boy I used to be me
Who was never afraid of anything
Now I'm watching that clock catch up with me
And it's frighteningI did everything right, but I got it all wrong
Heaven please forgive me for taking so long
You see, all that I've done it doesn't matter at all
It's what I leave here when I'm goneOh, look at me now
All grown up looking back again
Sitting here wondering where the time all went
What do I know now that I didn't know thenTennis ball and a catcher's mitt
I remember that boy throwing it
High up in the air then catching it
While the oak tree leaves cheered
