Childhood Things









Take me back to childhood things
Return the days of laughter, rocking swings
When the world found me so carefree
With love and care surrounding me

Take me back to childhood things
Bring me bouncing balls, puppets on strings
When all I needed to do was smile
Dream about the future for a while

Take me back to childhood things
Days of pampered dolls, bunnies on springs
Before the days became so bitter cold
With this mind and body growing old

Take me back to childhood things
Let me dream of dances with castle kings
Do not leave me here in tomorrows' wake
In this grown up world of pain and ache
