When I was just a boy
All the grown ups never had time for me
I had a friend who lived in a magical place
He was so strong and kind and real
Well, I can still see His face
My friend and I were so close
He never put me off
When I was scared, He would comfort me
All I had to do was call and there He would be
Lots of men in long black robes
Telling me I should know better
Time to grow up, face reality
A time to be a real go-getter
Now you say I'm a lucky guy
Got everything a man could want
You wouldn't understand, it wouldn't penetrate
I gotta find my childhood friend
Before it's too late
Lots of men in long black robes
Telling me I should know better
You really can't believe
Everything that's in that letter
I'm as happy as can be
Fairy tales aren't always make believe
You may think my advice isn't worth a dime
But I found my one true friend
He was right there all the time
All the time.....you were right there all the time....
Not always make believe
