Helmut Lotti - Back in time lyrics

rate me

<b>Back in time</b> by <i>Helmut Lotti</i><br />I was looking at my daughter

on her new bike that I bought her

Every second she was falling

In the evening very proudly she came calling

"I am big now!" is what she told me

She could cycle and she showed me

and I saw glimpse of me there

riding around in grandma's garden long ago

Back in time, I wish I could go back in time

The clock is ticking much too fast

it's easy if you don't know

those days will never last

Back in time, I wish I could go back in time

When people kept the pain away

if I could only be a kid for just one day

People always try to please you

People always hug and squeeze you

When you're little, life's exciting

so the thought of growing up becomes inviting

Then you struggle till you get there

and you realize that you're now here

So you're wishing for your parents

They're the only ones

who've never let you down

Back in time, I wish I could go back in time

The clock is ticking much too fast

it's easy if you don't know

those days will never last

Back in time, I wish I could go back in time

When people kept the pain away

if I could only be a kid for just one day

I was looking at my daughter

on her new bike that I bought her

It was early, it was raining

It was time to go to school

she was complaining

"I don't want to" is what she told me

She was pouting and trying to hold me

and I saw a glimpse of me there

and I knew that life was easy after all!
