Sometimes i think that my life has just begun 

And someday I'll have my day in the sun 

But the best days of my life have past 

And they went by so very fast 

It scares me to think just where my life has gone 

And that I may never see tomorrow's dawn 



I remember sitting on the swing 

I was nearly seven years old 

Contemplating, planning out my dreams 

Which of course woudl later be sold 

I would be happiness and grace 

Then wake on this track of life and find that I am losing the race 



I find myself looking forward into time 

Do as they say and you will be fine 

Don't try to argue and don't try to complain 

Hide your anger and your pain 

It scares me to think just where my life has gone 

And that I may never see tomorrow's dawn 



I remember when I used to be so young and so carefree 

Now my life is filled with problems and responsibilites 

Getting home by four to watch richie rich and scooby-doo 

Was all that ever worried me, it was all I had to do 

Looking at the older kids, always thought they were so great 

Saw them hanging out at parties, always got to stay out late 

By the time I reached that age the novelty had all but faded 

Now that we are old and grey we've become annoyed and jaded 



Thinking back to the time when I was young 

I thought it would be so fun to grow up 

And do anything I want 

It didn't turn out the way that I thought 

It would be happiness and grace 

Then wake up on theis track of life to find that I am losing the race
