I Was The Child

Am              D
When I was young,
G            C
We walked to school
F                  Dm           Bb                Am
And I carried your books 'cause even then I was a fool

Am              D
But you grew up
G            C
And said goodbye
F                  Dm           Bb
I still remember the things that made me cry


            D       F#m
For all too soon my story ends
  G                         D   A
I found a love now not even friends
D       F#m      G                 A
Why loving you, loving me like you used to do
I was the child

Am              D
I held your hand
G            C
And I told you things
F                  Dm           Bb
And I made you believe, believe in fairy tales

            D       F#m
For all too soon my story ends
  G                         D   A
I found a love now not even friends
D       F#m      G                 A
Why loving you, loving me like you used to do
I was the child
