I miss the days when life was simple
Care free children smile loud
Parents dancing in the kitchen
I see my dad steal a kiss
Hearts are laughing
Singing, harmonizing

The trees are breathing green
Grass swaying, hugging
The flowers stand tall
Welcoming life to all
Animals jumping, running
Moving, in love with freedom

First kisses
Driving cars
Growing up
Moving on

Easy peaceful moments
What a gift of memories

I hear this, everywhere
Those saying it,
They're so naive, lucky
Unaware of the jealousy
From those who live
Not missing anything
They've never had it.

We cry out in desperation
Embrace it, please
We need to live through you
Until the day
When we're able to say
I miss the days when life was simple.
