When I Was A Boy

When I was a baby, I hadn't a care in the world

But now I'm a man, my troubles fill my head

When I was five, it was good to be alive

But now I'm a man, I wish that I were dead



My how time rushes by

The moment you're born you start to die

Time waits for no man

And your life's spent, it's over before you begin



As I sit here at my window

My life comes back to me

It's been so long since the good days

It's been so long



And I count up all the wasted years

The hopes and the fears

The laughs and the tears

And I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what went wrong



When I was a boy I had the mind of a boy

But now I'm a man, ain't got no mind at all

When I was in my teens I had my share of dreams

But now I'm a man, ain't got no dreams at all



My how time rushes by

The moment you're born you start to die

Time waits for no man

And your life's spent, it's over before you begin



As I sit here at my window

My life comes back to me

It's been so long since the good days

It's been so long



And I count up all the wasted years

The hopes and the fears

The laughs and the tears

And I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what went wrong
