Sometimes i think that my life has just begun   And someday I'll have my day in the sun   But the best days of my life have past   And they went by so very fast   It scares me to think just where my life has gone   And that I may never see tomorrow's dawn      I remember sitting on the swing   I was nearly seven years old   Contemplating, planning out my dreams   Which of course woudl later be sold   I would be happiness and grace   Then wake on this track of life and find that I am losing the race      I find myself looking forward into time   Do as they say and you will be fine   Don't try to argue and don't try to complain   Hide your anger and your pain   It scares me to think just where my life has gone   And that I may never see tomorrow's dawn      I remember when I used to be so young and so carefree   Now my life is filled with problems and responsibilites   Getting home by four to watch richie rich and scooby-doo   Was all that ever worried me, it was all I had to do   Looking at the older kids, always thought they were so great   Saw them hanging out at parties, always got to stay out late   By the time I reached that age the novelty had all but faded   Now that we are old and grey we've become annoyed and jaded      Thinking back to the time when I was young   I thought it would be so fun to grow up    And do anything I want   It didn't turn out the way that I thought   It would be happiness and grace   Then wake up on theis track of life to find that I am losing the race
