When I Was A Boy

When I was a baby I hadn't a care in the world

But now I'm a man, my troubles fill my head

When I was five it was good to be alive

But now I'm a man, I wish that I were dead

My how time rushes by

The moment you're born you start to die

Time waits for no man

And your life's spent, it's over before you begin

As I sit here at my window

My life comes back to me

It's been so long since the good days

It's been so long

And I count up all the wasted years

The hopes and the fears

The laughs and the tears

And I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what went wrong

When I was a boy I had the mind of a boy

But now I'm a man, ain't got no mind at all

When I was in my teens I had my share of dreams

But now I'm a man, ain't got no dreams at all

My how time rushes by

The moment you're born you start to die

Time waits for no man

And your life's spent, it's over before you begin

As I sit here at my window

My life comes back to me

It's been so long since the good days

It's been so long

And I count up all the wasted years

The hopes and the fears

The laughs and the tears

And I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what went wrong
