As I sit and try to remember
A time so far long ago,
My soul is struck with pain
When the memories start to flow
And laughter rings in both my ears
And joy fills my heart
I start to remember how things went
When we were at the start.
The things I'd do to take it all back,
To start again from dust,
To save me all these tears I've shed,
And keep my heart from turning to rust
Because as years pass on and by
And I go on my way
I learn how important as a child
It is to cherish every day
