I was just a child thinking childish thoughts Playing in the streets that watched me grow Summer left and dark skies came The nights were cold, and the winds had changed You wrapped me up in my warmest winter clothes I was young and blind to the wars that we were in My mother held a shield across my chest Time came along and told me nothing will be so easy again And taught me how bittersweet the world can be Oh one day when I'm old, with the past behind me Will you take me back to the days where I was young and free Oh one day when I'm old, with the past behind me Letras de cancionesI wanna lay down in the shade of the same old Sycamore tree Once I met a man standing by the river bank Oh his eyes were blue and his hair was jet-black Falling in love was a mystery that I had been known to doubt A puzzle that no one could ever figure out Oh he looked at me in a way, a way I couldn't ignore And he touched me in a way no one ever had before Oh I was always afraid, afraid to face the truth That everyday I moved on further and further from my youth But that's just the way it is, like a bud turning into a rose We'll watch it bloom and wilt, it's just the way it goes Oh it's just the way it is, like a bud turning into a rose We'll watch it bloom and wilt, it's just the way it goes Oh one day when I'm old with the past behind me Will you take me back to the days where I was young and free Oh one day when I'm old with the past behind me I wanna lay down in the shade of the same old Sycamore tree From Letras Mania
