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.
