I Was the Child Lyrics

When I was young we walked to school
And I carried your books 'cause even then I was a fool
But you grew up and said goodbye
I still remember the things that made me cry

For all too soon my story ends
I found a love, now not even friends
Tell me why
Loving you, loving me like you used to do
I was the child

I held your hand and I told you things
And I made you believe, believe in fairy tales
And diamond rings

Hen all too soon my story ends
I found a love, now not even friends
Tell me why
Loving you, loving me like you used to do
I was the child
Ah ...
