Lyrics

Days To Spend

I was young and so it went
Before I knew my youth was spent
Each day came across my mind
Like each day was a shiny dime
I was a child, as children do
My world just changed and I did too
Oh, how I?d love just be where
The ones I loved would all be there

Chorus:
I wished I had those days to spend
I wished those days would never end
I wished I had them back again

I wasted time I could have laid
Across my mama?s lap all day
I ruled the roost and spoiled was I
My daddy was that kind of guy
To hear his voice just say my name
The time just passed the way it came
Not afraid of being true
And not to say, I love you

Chorus:
I wished I had those days to spend
I wished those days would never end
I wished I had them back again

I hear my brother call my name
It?s Saturday and there?s a game
Bases loaded I?m at bat
Ball so slow and all so fast

Brother?s in another state
Cause kids grow up and time won?t wait
More like a distant long lost friend
I wished I had those times again

I?ve watched my children grow away
From baby smell to out to play
Then again to raise their own
Parent?s proud as I have known

They call a dozen times a year
I love so much the voice, I hear
I miss the wide eyed smiling child
But life goes on and time runs wild

Chorus:
I wished I had those days to spend
I wished those days would never end
I wished I had them back again
I was young and so it went
Before I knew, my youth was spent
