Those Were the Days

Memories of those childhood days Laughing in the most silly ways Playing tag and climbing trees For hours and hours in Summer's breeze Building snowmen in the Winter Having Mom remove a splinter Falling down and getting bruises Coming up with lame excuses Squirting Dad with garden hoses Chicken pox and runny noses At Carnivals and County Fairs Riding bikes and flat tire repairs Chasing the little girl next door Rolling Hot Wheels on the floor Making roads with Tonka trucks Coke bottles sold made extra bucks Buying double scoop ice cream cones Catching frogs and skipping stones Winning games of hide and seek On Christmas Eve to sneak a peek Springtime in brand new sandals Blowing out your birthday candles Making wishes before you do Too much cake when you're through Friendships that would never sever Each day seemed to last forever Those childhood memories from the past Amazing time went by so fast
