Tennis ball and a catcher's mitt

I remember that boy throwing it

High up in the air then catching it

While the oak tree leaves cheered



Oh,look at me now All grown up looking back again

Sitting here wondering where the time all went

What do I know now that I didn't know then 

Not much

Oh, look at me know,

On the fifty-first floor looking down on it all

With my name on the door and degree on the wall

Yeah, Look at me now



[Chorus]



I did everything right, but I got it all wrong

Heaven please forgive me for taking so long

You see, all that I've done it doesn't matter at all

It's what I leave here when I'm gone



Oh, look at me now

Where is that young boy I used to be

Who was never afraid of anything

Now I'm watching that clock catch up with me

And it's frightening



[Chorus]



Oh, Look at me now

All grown up looking back again

Sitting here wondering where the time all went

What do I know now that I didn't know then



Tennis ball and a catcher's mitt

I remember that boy throwing it

High up in the air then catching it

While the oak trees cheered



[Chorus]
