Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Balloons flying, children sighing
What a day to go kite-flying
Breeze is cool away from school
Cowboys fighting out a duel
[Verse 2]
Time seems to stand quite still
In a child's world, it always will
[Verse 3]
Fishes biting, so exciting
Lunchtime sounds so inviting
Angler Bill, he gets a thrill
Sitting, watching, bobbing quill
[Verse 4]
Time seems to stand quite still
In a child's world, it always will
[Verse 5]
Yesterday's dreams
Are tomorrow's sighs
Watch children playing
They seem so wise
[Verse 6]
Mary Green, today's her queen
One thousand dollies are a-dreaming
Cotton frocks and golden locks
Her palace is an orange box
[Verse 7]
Time seems to stand quite still
In a child's world, it always will
