When I Was Younger - Lighthouse Family

When I was younger

I seem to remember

Holding a finger while walking to

Mother standing

By ten I could tell her

«I'll love you forever

And I’ll tread on the stars just to be with you

Notwithstanding»

When staring into her naked face

Yes, I wished my eyes would never stray

She said why cry little baby

Why cry yeh yeh

Why cry pretty baby

Wipe your eyes yeh yeh

Now I am older

I don’t sit on her shoulder

To gaze over worlds that are lower to

The higher standing

Instead I’m staring into your ageless face

Yes, and I wish my eyes will never stray

So why cry little baby

Why cry yeh yeh

Why cry pretty baby

Wipe your eyes yeh yeh

Why should you worry

You know there’ll be an answer

When you call

So don’t you push or be in a hurry

'Cause learning how to stand

Is why you fall

When I was younger

I seem to remember

Holding a finger while walking to

Mother standing
