Do you remember

Do you remember carefree days?
When summer times seemed long,
when bands played on the radio
and sang a favourite song.

When worries seemed so far away
and every sky was blue.
And childhood wasn't yesterday
and everything was new.

When tiny things seemed very big
and every step seemed vast.
When each and every milestone
was as important as the last.

When Christmas time was magical
and every wish came true.
When silly things that made you scared,
Like ghosts and Dr Who.

As years go by and dreams move on
the child within me stays.
And nothing seems so very nice
compared to carefree days.
