My crayon box dreams, I've held in my heart
From when I was young to now when I'm old 
The ones I recall all do hold their part 
Memories of life begin to unfold 

Hopscotch in colors of chalk on pavements 
Back when I played with the kids on my square
Making hand faces at night in our tents 
To play late out at night without any care 

One, two, three spud- is a game that we played 
And so was hide-n-seek, and playing ball 
And there were games that my friends and I made 
Those were the games that I loved most of all 

So long I've lived and so hard it all seems
I've held in my heart...my crayon box dreams
