"When I Was A Child" lyrics - PETULA CLARK

When I was child, not so long ago
Life was full of make believe, toys upon the floor
Living in a world, everything was new
Lollipops and rainbows, picture books and glue

And summer days were long and the skies were always blue
When nothing seemed to matter then, not even you
Growing old was far away, so many things to do
When I was a child the days went by
I didn't count them all, did you?

Then the time went on, I grew up so fast
Then I found my young girl's dream
Coming true at last
For I fell in love
I fell in love with you
And I'm just as happy now
Childhood days are through

When I see our children's toys upon the floor
I still remember when I was a child once more
Nothing really changes now
For life goes on the same
'Cause when I was a child the only difference is
That it's a bigger game
Than when I was a child

When I see our children's toys upon the floor
I still remember when I was a child once more
Nothing really changes now
For life goes on the same
'Cause when I was a child the only difference is
That it's a bigger game
Than when I was a child
