Gone are those days
Where we played with clay
Watched the waves go away
Missing that today

Gone are those days
Where everything we knew
Was fun and games
Like hide-n-seek and crew

Gone are those days
When we never heard of struggles
Only jumping in puddles
And blowing out bubbles

Gone are those days
When eating ice cream was an award
With every melted drop
Becoming a record

Gone are those days
When our paintings were framed
All our dances a display
Only to be giggled at today

Gone are those days
When we felt like growing up
Not knowing what's on
The other side of the cup

But, those were the days
When afternoon naps were okay
Reading books about fairies
And ballet

Those were the days
That we could play without worries
'Cause completing homework
Was no hurry

That was our childhood
Which will be remembered by the firewood

That was our mini-version
Talking to it's older person.
