D Em7 G A
I was a child who ran full of laughter,

My eyes full of sunshine, my heart full of smiles,
A G Em7 A
I was a child for a day!
D Em7 G A
We were the children who sang in the morning,

G A D Bm
Who listened to those who spoke with their wisdom,
A G Em7 A
We are the ones we would say...
D F#7
"... but, we?re getting older, as time goes by,
Bm D G E7
A little older with every day,
D A
We were the children yesterday!"
Intro
D Em7 G A
We are the men who worry of nothing,

We are the men who fight without aim,

We are the pawns in the game!

Ah--ah! We?re getting older as time goes by,
Bm D G E7
A little older with every day,
D A
We were the children of yesterday!
