When I was just a little boy And life was simple, such a joy I longed for Christmas or a birthday too And the days would pass so very slow Like cold northern glaciers without a flow. But the days did pass and I would cheer Swifter and shorter with each passing year Now I'm a man and it happens too fast A day is gone, a week, a month then two Our time grows shorter I long for you. Slow down sweet life, let me savor it all Let our love stop the rush make time stall In its tracks not to move, savor our emotion As we hold one another locking souls together Embracing and loving while the minutes gather. We'll collect each moment every passing hour Into our hearts our spirits love will flower Longing for time to stand perfectly in place Longing for love to grow to stand the test Longing for forever, lives together blessed. When I was just a little boy And life was simple, such a joy I longed for Christmas or a birthday too.....
