When I Was A Boy Lyrics - Who

When I was a baby I hadn't a care in the world 

But now I'm a man, my troubles fill my head 

When I was five it was good to be alive 

But now I'm a man, I wish that I were dead 

My how time rushes by 

The moment you're born you start to die 

Time waits for no man 

And your life's spent, it's over before you begin 

As I sit here at my window 

My life comes back to me 

It's been so long since the good days 

It's been so long

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

And I count up all the wasted years 

The hopes and the fears 

The laughs and the tears 

And I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what went wrong 

When I was a boy I had the mind of a boy 

But now I'm a man, ain't got no mind at all 

When I was in my teens I had my share of dreams 

But now I'm a man, ain't got no dreams at all 

My how time rushes by 

The moment you're born you start to die 

Time waits for no man 

And your life's spent, it's over before you begin 

As I sit here at my window 

My life comes back to me 

It's been so long since the good days 

It's been so long 

And I count up all the wasted years 

The hopes and the fears 

The laughs and the tears 

And I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what went wrong
