    The World I Had

    I want to live in the world I had

    Were I can run up the stairs three steps at a time
    Where there was no tree I could not climb

    I want to live in the world I had

    Where I could hit a ball make it soar
    Wrestle with friends all over the floor

    I want to live in the world I had

    78 was the record of the day
    25 cents is all you would pay

    I want to live in the world I had

    Greet the day with an adventure in your heart
    Punch ball was the game couldn't wait for it to start

    I want to live in the world I had

    Play in the rain like the Sun was shining
    Sit on a stoop eating a hero that's fine dining

    No no no I don't want that
    Where the heck is my mind at

    Where's my grandkids, my daughters, my wife
    Without them this is no life
    I watch grandkids get off to school everyday
    In the yard I watch them at play
    The barbecues, Sunday dinner, they would all go away
    No no no I need them to stay
    I realize now it's fun to wish for the past
    and each of life's phases are not meant to last
