I heard a voice today
It sounded so familiar
It caught me by surprise
I could almost remember

Playful and innocent
Full of wonder and joy

I thought it might be from long long ago
I thought it might be from too long ago

I saw a face today
The eyes were so familiar
Like it was yesterday
But I could not quite remember
Clever and curious
Alive with a sense of the world

I thought it might be from long long ago
I thought it might be from too long ago

Children grow
They become the dreams they had
A long time ago

Desperate to be older
Trying to be bolder
Reaching for the stars that they are
Reaching for the stars that they are

I know that voice today
It never left me
I know that face today
Smudged with playground memories

She was so young then
So many years ago

I know it had come from not long ago
I knew it had come from not too long ago
I know it had come from not long ago (not long ago)
I know it had come from not too long ago
