[E]
Look at the kids [A] on the sandy shore
[B] Watching the tide [E] come in
I used to do [A] the same sweet things [B] What pleasures it [E] did bring
Picking up pebbles and throwing them [B] into the sea
Watching the white surf carry them on [E] back to me
But now it's all over I've grown up, it [B] don't seem the same
The things in my childhood I know were all [E] just a game
To sit in my bed [B] and watch the stars
[A] High [B] up in [E] the sky
To say my prayers, [B] then off to sleep [A] And then [B] to wave [E] them goodbye
Wouldn't it be nice if clocks could be turned [B] back in years
Just to relive the good times and all [E] the good tears
But now it's all over I've grown up, it don't [B] seem the same
The things in my childhood I know were all [E] just a game
Look at the kids [B] on the sandy shore
[A] Watching [B] the tide [E] come in
I used to do [A] the same sweet things What [B] pleasures it [E] did bring
