Where Have the Years Gone

Toys
balls and bats
boots and hats
Kites and bike
walking and talking
where have the years gone?

Cars
Tires and rimes
oil and toil
rebuilding 
waxing and shine
fixing all the time
where have the years gone?

out on your own
Your own house
you paint and fix
the friends you pick
planning your life
where have the years gone?

I worried when you were a little baby
I worried when you were a young boy
I worry now that your a grown man

where have the years gone?
a mom is a mom 
I will love you the rest of your life
