When You Were a Child

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When you were a child Your mother said she'll care for you And keep you straight in line When you were a child The world was all right there for you And everything took its time [Chorus] Now you're gone and the memory fades away [Verse 2] When you were a child Your friends, they all surrounded you And everything seemed all right When you were a child Your lifetime's up ahead of you And the sun was always bright [Chorus] Now you're gone and the memory fades away Now you're gone and they tell you what to say [Verse 3: Molly Payton] When you were a child You never felt responsible For anything at all When you were a child Yeah, everything was possible There's someone to catch your fall [Chorus: Both] Now you're gone and the memory fades away Now you're gone and they tell you what to say
