Just A Boy
Harry Connick Jr. · We Are In Love (Sl) [2000]
The last days in May before summer lay claim
Back in the school yard, we made up a game
Now is always, is always the same
Too bad always always ends
I remember
I remember when
But I was just
Just a boy then
Innocent envy without compromise
Recommendations all ill advised
Tall tales and little white lies
The truth had to bend
I remember
I remember when
But I was just
Just a boy then
Now that we're tall and all grown
A house, a car lives of our own
We put off but we can't postpone
The way we become men
I remember
I remember when
But I was just
Just a boy then
Back in the school yard, we made up a game
Now is always, is always the same
Too bad always always ends
I remember
I remember when
But I was just
Just a boy then
Innocent envy without compromise
Recommendations all ill advised
Tall tales and little white lies
The truth had to bend
I remember
I remember when
But I was just
Just a boy then
Now that we're tall and all grown
A house, a car lives of our own
We put off but we can't postpone
The way we become men
I remember
I remember when
But I was just
Just a boy then
