I Was The Child
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I was you we walked to school
And I carried your books 'cause even then I was a fool
But you grew up and said goodbye
I still remember the things that made me cry
For all too soon my story ends
I found a love, now not even friends
Tell me why
loving you , loving me like you used to do
I was the child
I held your hand and I told you things
And I made you believe, believe in fairy tales
and diamond rings
hen all too soon my story ends
I found a love ,now not even friends
Tell me why
loving you , loving me like you used to do
I was the child
Ah .....
