I knew this kid, his name was Michael
|
He was only four years old
|
We sat on a rock and started talkin'
|
And he told me things I didn't know
|
He said yesterday he was an Indian
|
And how he played with buffalo
|
Well, I got a sense that he had been there
|
And he made me really wanna go
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Remember waitin' all year for December
|
Thought God was cryin' when it rained
|
And that the stars were fireflies
|
Dreams were real and big as life
|
It was forever everyday
|
I was tuckin' in my little girl
|
She held my hand and we said a prayer
|
I prayed, "Bless Grandma with the angels."
|
And she said, "Hey Mom, she's standin' over there."
|
Well, I couldn't see her but I don't doubt it
|
Maybe 'cause I'm older and less wise
|
What if Heaven's all around us
|
But only seen through children's eyes
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
They say when you're old you're a child again
|
But do we have to wait 'till then
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
Forever
|
I knew this kid his name was Michael
