Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I was young
It seems that life
Was so wonderful
Beautiful, magical
The birds in the trees
They'll be singing
So happily, playfully, joyfully
Watching me
[Verse 2]
And they send me away
Where I could be
So sensible, magical
Responsible, practical
And they showed me a world
Where I could be so dependable
Cynical, intellectual
[Verse 3]
They were times when all the world's asleep
The question is too deep for such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what you've learned?
I know it sound absurd, please tell me who I am
[Verse 4]
When I was young
It seems that life
Was so beautiful
The birds will be singing
So happily, playfully
Watching me
[Verse 5]
And they send me away
To teach me how to be sensible
Responsible, magical
And they show me who I am
Where I could be so dependable
