David Allen Slater - When I Was a Child

WHEN I WAS A CHILD
words and music by David Allen Slater
Copyright 2007 by David Allen Slater

WHEN I WAS A CHILD
MAN I FELT SO FREE
THE SKY WAS SO MUCH BLUER
A DEEPER GREEN WAS IN THEM TREES

CATCHIN' FIREFLIES ON A SUMMER'S NIGHT
YEAH MY LIFE WAS JUST SO FINE
WHEN I WAS A CHILD
I DREAMED THAT I COULD FLY

CHORUS:
AND I CAN SEE THE LIGHT TODAY
SHININ' DOWN UPON MY FACE
MAKES THE PAIN GO AWAY
YOU SAY I'M JUST A FOOL TO CARE
OH BUT YOU DON'T KNOW ME WELL, NO
EVEN THOUGH WE'RE JUST THE SAME

WHEN I WAS A CHILD
MAN I FELT SO TALL
YOU COULDN'T TELL ME NUTHIN'
NO SIR I KNEW IT ALL

DOIN' THINGS I KNEW I SHOULDN'T DO
SOME THINGS DON'T EVER CHANGE
WHEN I WAS A CHILD
I BET YOU KNEW MY NAME

CHORUS:
AND I CAN SEE THE LIGHT TODAY
SHININ' DOWN UPON MY FACE
MAKES THE PAIN GO AWAY
YOU SAY I'M JUST A FOOL TO CARE
OH BUT YOU DON'T KNOW ME WELL, YEAH
EVEN THOUGH WE'RE JUST THE SAME

AND I CAN SEE THE LIGHT TODAY
SHININ' DOWN UPON MY FACE YEAH
MAKES THE PAIN GO AWAY
YOU SAY I'M JUST A FOOL TO CARE
OH BUT YOU DON'T KNOW ME WELL, YEAH
EVEN THOUGH WE'RE JUST THE SAME

YEAH GET IT NOW.....
