When everyone wore Calvin Klein
I wore pairs of Old Navy jeans and graphic tees
When everyone carried a mouthful Menthol Cigarettes

When everyone was rocking Air...

I smiled as I hug you 
Joyed as I tugged you 
From anywhere to everywhere 
Your baby eyes bright and clear 
I am proud as I befriend you 
Still soft and handsome as dew 
I watched you grow 
Alighting on any rose 
Your roguelike fancy...
