"And I-I-I wanna thank you, for giving me the best days of my life..."

What a time we had,

when all of us were young.

Laughing in the rain

and basking in the sun.

Not a care in the world,

so wonderful to be free...


I am now older than I used to be.

I cannot play anymore with you,

and neither can you with me.

We are now bound by the strings of time,

to live as we are now,

awaiting harder times.


I mourn that I am no longer young with you,

but strangely have no regrets about being old.

For I was happy then and I am happy now,

I just wish I had both happiness to hold.
