I remember clearly Childhood days I treasured dearly Memories remind me Of all the happiness behind me Children on a see-saw Throwing pebbles by the seashore I remember still a meadow on a hill Where once I used to run In summers in the sun But oh, they didn' t last Those days went much too fast And now I miss them so Where did the time all go I recall the good times Those sentimental sandalwood times Holidays and high days Winter nights and warm july days And I wonder why now I never see a butterfly now Waste too many hours No time to smell the flowers Or taste the gentle fun Of summers in the sun Oh no, they didn't last Those days went much too fast And now I miss them so Where did the time go Sadly as the time goes We lose the innnocence a child know I remember so well The simple wonder of a sea shell Catching fish in wild streams And dreaming dreams That every child dreams Life was simple then They' ll never come again I miss them every one Those summers in the sun
