Verse 1
At four, the world was full of wonder
At five, it held everything I wanted
At six, things they started to change
And by seven, our lives had bonded
Chorus
And sometimes we see our childhood, as a thing to move on from
As a thing to forget too fast and way too soon
Verse 2
The years flew by we stayed in love
We both grew old and moved along
You coped with things I couldn't face
It's true my love you made me strong
Bridge
Then one day you were there no longer, my world died and my eyes stopped seeing
And my memories were buried so far back behind the tears of pain
Instrumental
Verse 3
Sand it trickles through our idle fingers
Time flies through our lives too fast
There is no waiting on the sidelines
And we don't see our lives fly past
Bridge
Then one day you were there no longer, my world died and my eyes stopped seeing
And my memories were buried so far back behind the tears of pain
instrumental coda
