Tennis ball and a catcher's mitt   I remember that boy throwing it   High up in the air then catching it   While the oak tree leaves cheered      Oh, look at me now, all grown up looking back again   Sitting here wondering where the time all went   What do I know now that I didn't know then   Not much      Oh, look at me know   On the fifty-first floor looking down on it all   With my name on the door and degree on the wall   Yeah, look at me now      I did everything right, but I got it all wrong   Heaven please forgive me for taking so long   You see, all that I've done it doesn't matter at all   It's what I leave here when I'm gone      Oh, look at me now   Where is that young boy I used to be me   Who was never afraid of anything   Now I'm watching that clock catch up with me   And it's frightening      I did everything right, but I got it all wrong   Heaven please forgive me for taking so long   You see, all that I've done it doesn't matter at all   It's what I leave here when I'm gone      Oh, look at me now   All grown up looking back again   Sitting here wondering where the time all went   What do I know now that I didn't know then      Tennis ball and a catcher's mitt   I remember that boy throwing it   High up in the air then catching it   While the oak tree leaves cheered
