Song Description

Reflecting on childhood memories

Lyrics

Verse 1 Today I passed the child I used to be.
Her hair was all blown wild.
I stopped the car, remembering
How once the whole world smiled.

Verse 2 She chased some boys around the tree.
She raced and shouted to her friend.
She never saw me wondering
Why childhood had to end.

Chorus:
May with joyful abandon
Her moments take flight.
May she always be blessed
With her own inner light.

Verse 3 As I was driving on through morning rush,
I dreamt of dress up, songs, and plays,
Of fall leaf piles and best friend's smiles
On gold, October days.

Chorus:
May with joyful abandon
My moments take flight.
May I always be blessed
With a childlike delight.





Final Chorus:
May I stop long enough
In the rush of my days.
For the senses to hush,
With a child's simple praise.
