Every night I dream
the same dream
Of getting older
and older all the time
I ask you now
what does this mean
Are all these problems
just in my mind
Things are easy
when you're a child
But now these pressures
have dropped on my head
The length I've gone
are just long miles
Would they be shorter
if I were dead
Every time I look
in my past
I always wish
I was there
I wish my youth
would forever last
Why are these times
so unfair
Look at my friends
and see what they've done
Ask myself
why they've had to change
I liked 'em better
when they were young
Now all these times
are rearranged
I look down
and stand there and cry
Nothing ever
will be the same
The sun is rising
now I ask why
The clouds now fall and
here comes the rain
Every time I look
in my past
I always wish
I was there
I wish my youth
would forever last
Why are these times
so unfair go
Every night I dream
the same dream
Of getting older
and older all the time
I ask you now
what does this mean
Are all these problems
just in my mind
Things are easy
when you're a child
But now these pressures
have dropped on my head
The length I've gone
are just long miles
Would they be shorter
if I were dead
Every time I look
in my past
I always wish
I was there
I wish my youth
would forever last
Why are these times
so unfair
