I long for a time that’s forever gone
Back when they were here
When bruise knees were kissed to make it better
Tissues for my tears
When school was out and vacations were planned
Back when they were here
My biggest worry was what I would wear
Whispers in my ear
I had to wait ‘til the end of the day
Back when they were here
To see and talk, sharing life’s ups and downs
In the strange frontier
My life was certainly a lot different
Back when they were here
The true meaning of a lifetime ago
Peers at me through tears
So, I spend today thinking of the time
Back when they were here
Smiles will come from all the fun that we had
That I hold so dear
