Lyric When I Was a Boy

When I was a baby I hadn t a care in the world,
But now I m a man, my troubles fill my head,
When I was five it was good to be alive,
But now I m a man, I wish that I were dead.

My how time rushes by,
The moment you re born you start to die,
Time waits for no man,
And your life s spent, it s over before you begin.

As I sit here at my window,
My life comes back to me,
It s been so long since the good days,
It s been so long.

And I count up all the wasted years,
The hopes and the fears,
The laughs and the tears,
And I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what went wrong.

When I was a boy I had the mind of a boy,
But now I m a man, ain t got no mind at all,
When I was in my teens I had my share of dreams,
But now I m a man, ain t got no dreams at all.

My how time rushes by,
The moment you re born you start to die,
Time waits for no man,
And your life s spent, it s over before you begin.

As I sit here at my window,
My life comes back to me,
It s been so long since the good days,
It s been so long.

And I count up all the wasted years,
The hopes and the fears,
The laughs and the tears,
And I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what went wrong.
