(Kim Patton Johnson/Devon O'Day)



I knew this kid, his name was Michael

He was only four years old

We sat on a rock and started talkin'

And he told me things I didn't know

He said yesterday he was an Indian

And how he played with buffalo

Well, I got a sense that he had been there

And he made me really wanna go



Chorus: Remember waitin' all year for December

Thought God was cryin' when it rained

And that the stars were fireflies

Dreams were real and big as life

It was forever everyday

I was tuckin' in my little girl

She held my hand and we said a prayer

I prayed, "Bless Grandma with the angels."

And she said, "Hey Mom, she's standin' over there."

Well, I couldn't see her but I don't doubt it

Maybe 'cause I'm older and less wise

What if Heaven's all around us

But only seen through children's eyes

(Repeat Chorus)



They say when you're old you're a child again

But do we have to wait 'till then 

(Repeat Chorus) 



Forever
