When I Was a Child - Peggy Lee
Lyrics by：Floyd Huddleston
Composed by：Mark McIntyre
When I was a child I thought as a child
My dreams were my kingdom my shrine
I thought as a child and I dreamed as a child
And the world that I lived in was mine
But all that I planned all those castles of sand
Disappeared disappeared long ago
I search but in vain for the joys that remain
Of the days I used to know
For there while in school was a child not a fool
A child who was wiser than I
For love was her dream and her love was supreme
And for the love such as her's she would die
But today I have learned that my love can be spurned
And my dreams can be doomed and defied
Yes I'm older today and I'm sad in a way
Sad that I'm no longer a child
