I Was the Child

When I was young, 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

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

Then 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
