The Time They Spent With You

It was a wonderful ride That the kids thoroughly enjoyed But though they’re very young They had so many laughs and so much fun You know it will all change when life moves on You know that it will change when adulthood comes You chase them around while they giggle and hide You hurt your back giving them a piggy back ride And they laugh and hiccup in joy And they think you’re so much fun to annoy They jump around and ask you to watch them dance And you smile for you know it’s a finite chance But though they may not think of you now And though their lives have ever changed Just give a smile and be glad for the time they spent with you You always loved the child’s play An innocence you wish had stayed When fantasy was reality When reality was not boring And you know the old folks feel sad Because they’re children aren't coming back And though you know you’ll feel the same Whenever they grow up and change But hopefully they’ll look back and smile at the time they spent with you Hopefully when they’re old and gray Years afar when you've past away And all they have of you is memory They’ll feel warm and fondly recall the time they spent with you Don’t be silly, you know they’ll always love the time they've spent with you Things may change but not the memories of the time they've spent with you It means so much now it’ll always mean more the time they spent with you
