When I Was Young 

When I was young, 
There was a man in the moon; I was certain; I could see him! 
When I was young, 
Santa Claus rode the chimney. It didn’t matter that we didn’t have a chimney, 
Santa still rode the chimney. 
When I was young. 

When I was young, My dad was bigger and stronger than all other dads; I was certain; I could tell! 
When I was young, 
My nails didn’t seem to want to be driven through the boards, 

But dad could make them. 
When I was young.
 
When I was young, 
Easter bunnies and goblins were equally real; I knew, ‘cause I had seen them too! 
When I was young, 
I was convinced my Uncle’s trunk grew dollar bills. 
Didn’t make sense, but still, it did it. 
When I was young. 

As the days go by, fantasies die; 
It’s sad, but it’s oh so true. 
Mysteries fade, heroes evade, 
And the world takes a different hue
