Strawbs - When You Were A Child lyrics

rate me

When you were a child you were a friend of mine<br />

And I loved you in my way<br />

But though we grew apart, and I lost touch with you<br />

It still seems like yesterday<br />

I haven't seen you in a long time<br />

Oh, but I bet you look the same way you always did<br />

When you were a child you were a friend of mine<br />

And I loved you in my way.<br />

<br />

When you were a child you used to paint for me<br />

And I loved you in my way<br />

In time the paintings faded and were set aside<br />

They have now been thrown away<br />

I haven't seen you in a long time<br />

Oh but I bet you look the same way you always did<br />

When you were a child you used to paint for me<br />

And I loved you in my way.<br />

<br />

When you were a child you used to laugh for me<br />

And I loved you in my way<br />

But as the laughs turned silver they cost too much<br />

You were far too grown to play<br />

Though I hadn't seen you in a long time<br />

Oh I just knew you'd look the same way you always did<br />

When you were a child you used to laugh for me<br />

And I loved you in my way.
