Sometimes i think that my life has just begun 
And someday I'll have my day in the sun 
But the best days of my life have past 
And they went by so very fast 
It scares me to think just where my life has gone 
And that I may never see tomorrow's dawn 

I remember sitting on the swing 
I was nearly seven years old 
Contemplating, planning out my dreams 
Which of course woudl later be sold 
I would be happiness and grace 
Then wake on this track of life and find that I am losing the race 

I find myself looking forward into time 
Do as they say and you will be fine 
Don't try to argue and don't try to complain 
Hide your anger and your pain 
It scares me to think just where my life has gone 
And that I may never see tomorrow's dawn 

I remember when I used to be so young and so carefree 
Now my life is filled with problems and responsibilites 
Getting home by four to watch richie rich and scooby-doo 
Was all that ever worried me, it was all I had to do 
Looking at the older kids, always thought they were so great 
Saw them hanging out at parties, always got to stay out late 
By the time I reached that age the novelty had all but faded 
Now that we are old and grey we've become annoyed and jaded 

Thinking back to the time when I was young 
I thought it would be so fun to grow up 
And do anything I want 
It didn't turn out the way that I thought 
It would be happiness and grace 
Then wake up on theis track of life to find that I am losing the race
