Petula Clark - When I Was A Child lyrics

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 arе through

When I see our children's toys upon the floor
I still rеmember 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
