The Days of My Youth

[Verse 1]
I could fly like a bird on the wings of the wind
I've played in the sun with a joy deep within
I had laughter as a toy and a sweet for my tooth
In the beautiful days of my youth

[Verse 2]
Everyone that I met was a friend, not a foe
The fears I have learned, way back then I didn't know
Not one deed meant unkind or one thought uncouth
In the beautiful days of my youth

[Bridge]
But time quickly passed, the years travelled on
The hopes and the dreams have diminished and gone

[Verse 3]
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 will spare the untruth
In the magical days, the sweet candy days
The beautiful days of your youth

[Bridge]
Time quickly passed, the years travelled on
The hopes and the dreams have diminished and gone

[Verse 3]
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 will spare the untruth
In the magical days, the sweet candy days
The beautiful days of your youth

[Outro]
Run, child, run
See the sun
Laugh, child, laugh
Like the wind
And sing, child
Sing
