Loggins & Messina - When I Was A Child Lyrics
When I was a child
So wild and free
Sometimes I'd stumbled
Or fall from a tree
And I didn't care
I knew that my daddy
Would always be there
Oh, he was my friend
When no one could make
Never too busy
Oh, he'd find a way
Then off we would rambled
I knew that my daddy
Would always be there
But time has no mercy
For a growing young soul
It leaves us with memories
While it makes us grow old
I left my heart
When school days were through
With visions of freedom
Oh, when dreams do come true
I've never worried
And I've never cared
I knew that my daddy
Would always be there
One night while traveling
Word came by phone
The message was simple
You're needed at home
So once I did worry
For once I did care
I prayed that my daddy would wait for me there
Time has no mercy
For the growing young soul
It leaves us with memories
While it makes us grow old
But time has no mercy
For the growing young soul
It leaves us with memories
While it makes us grow old
While it makes us grow old

@AchrisH ... condolensces on your loss... nowadays I just try my best to remember to tell everyone I love ... that I love them... past all the differences... best to you
@AchrisH i know your pain...
My brother and I lost our father this morning to lung cancer which had spread to his liver and bones. Last time we got to see him was in early January right before he was diagnosed. The cancer just attacked his body so quickly and we couldn't make it back to see him one last time. Despite the differences we had in the past, it's a hole in my heart that will remain however long I live. RIP Dad 10/21/1944 - 02/17/2011.
My father sang this song to me every night when I was just a baby.... RIP
If only everyone had a father like the one sung about in this song! Great and very emotional.
