My Long Lost Youth
Oh for the days of my long lost youth
Making paper airplanes, watching em glide
Looping like barnstorming pilots of the 30s
Above the trees like birds on high
Our imagination didn't see paper airplanes
We saw ourselves as pilots on board
Soaring skyward with not a worry in the world
We could even hear the engines roar
Another favourite pastime was climbing trees
Just like the masts on a pirate ship
Looking out on the ocean with a telescope
A pistol hanging from our hips
Another fantasy, being a famous hockey star
Heard the cheering of adoring fans
Dreaming at night, scoring the winning goal
No more school, no more final exams
Oh for the old days, hmm I might rethink that
It's pretty damn good from where I sit
Each stage in live has it's own special happening
But so happy for this precious gift!
