When I Was Younger

When I was younger

I seem to remember

Holding a finger while walking to

Mother standing

By ten, I could tell her

"I'll love you forever

And I'll tread on the stars just to be with you

Notwithstanding"

When staring into her naked face

Yes, I wished my eyes would never stray

She said, "Why cry, little baby?"

Why cry? Yeah yeah

Why cry, pretty baby?

Wipe your eyes, yeah yeah

Now I am older

I don't sit on her shoulder

To gaze over worlds that are lower to

The higher standing

Instead, I'm staring into your ageless face

Yes, and I wish my eyes will never stray

So, why cry, little baby?

Why cry? Yeah yeah

Why cry, pretty baby?

Wipe your eyes, yeah yeah yeah

Why should you worry

You know there'll be an answer when you call

So don't you push or be in a hurry

'Cause learning how to stand is why you fall

Aah, aah

Aah, aah

Aah, aah

Aah, aah

When I was younger

I seem to remember

Holding a finger while walking to

Mother standing
