When I Was a Child Lyrics
When I was a child
So wild and free
Sometimes I'd stumbled
Or fall from a treeBut I didn't worry
And I didn't care
I knew that my daddy
Would always be thereOh, he was my friend
When no one could make
Never too busy
Oh, he'd find a wayThen off we would rambled
With the wind in our hair
I knew that my daddy
Would always be thereBut time has no mercy
For a growing young soul
It leaves us with memories
While it makes us grow oldI left my heart
When school days were through
With visions of freedom
Oh, when dreams do come trueI've never worried
And I've never cared
I knew that my daddy
Would always be thereOne night while traveling
Word came by phone
The message was simple
You're needed at homeSo once I did worry
For once I did care
I prayed that my daddy would wait for me thereTime has no mercy
For the growing young soul
It leaves us with memories
While it makes us grow oldBut 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
