Where Did It Go?

Thinking about the days gone by, and how they used to be Looking back at the young woman there, It’s hard to believe it was me I was a young woman with spirit, with a baby in her arms Full of youth and energy, there was I with all my charms The times I used to think I was right, when really I was wrong I was singing away without a care, at life’s sweet song Now I am much older, I look back, it all seems like a dream Of all the things that I have done, the places I have been Time goes on it takes its toll, until you reach old age Each trial of life is important as you reach the end of the page Where did it go, the life I had, the young girl without a care? Life is so short, it doesn’t last long, was that my life over there?
