INTRO:

USED TO FLY------LIKE A BIRD------ON THE WINGS OF WIND

I’VE PLAYED------IN THE SUN------WITH A JOY DEEP WITHIN

I HAD LAUGHTER------AS A BOY------AND A SWEET FOR MY TOOTH,

IN THE BEAUTYFUL DAYS------OF MY YOUTH.

------

EVERY ONE------THAT I MET------WAS A FRIEND----NOT A FOE

THE FEARS------I HAD LEARNED------WAY BACK THEN----I DIDN’T KNOW

NOT ONE DEED----MEANT UNKIND,----OR ONE THOUGHT UNCOUNTH

IN THE BEAUTIFUL DAYS-------OF MY YOUTH.

BRIDGE:

THE TIME----QUICKLY PASSED,----THE YEARS TRAVLLED ON

THE HOPES,----AND THE DREAMS,----HAVE DIMINISHED AND GONE.

-------

NOW THE CHILD------THAT I FACE,------HOW FAMILIAR HE SEEMS

HE’S WEARING----MY EYES------AND HE’S LIVING MY DREAMS

OH MY INNOCENT CHILD, I’LL SPARE THEE UNTRUTHS

IN THE MAGICAL DAYS, THE SWEET CANDY DAYS,

THE BEAUTIFUL DAYS OF MY YOUTH.

-------

RUN CHILD RUN,------SEE THE SUN

LAUGH CHILD LAUGH,-----LIKE THE WIND

AND SING CHILD,------------SING
