Now I Think As A Man Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

When I was a child I thought as a child I thought of toys on Christmas morn 

Of puppy dog tails and chicken corn but now I think as a man 

Oh now I think as a man 

And as a man I think of you and all the things I'd like to do 

As a man with a woman who's love is untrue 

When I was a boy of six or so I thought of bein' Buffalo Bill 

And ridin' the ponny cross the hill but now I think as a man 

Oh now I think as a man 

And as a man I think of you... 

When I was a freckled face nine or ten I thought of play in trees all day 

And chasing all the girls away but now I think as a man 

Oh now I think as a man 

And as a man I think of you... 

Has many a year went flying by too many a broken heart I smile 

At the carefree thoughts when I was a child before I thought as a man 

Oh now I think as a man
