Sugar petals linger on the thought of childhood – 

Meeting Mickey Mouse at Disneyworld, old friends to dance and play 

Singing of time and priceless joys, fly back I wish I could. 

Blissful days on playground swings, seesaws of dented wood, 

Imaginary friends and wistful things and fingers stuck with clay 

Singing of time and priceless joys, fly back I wish I could. 

Fairy tales and princesses, Little Red Riding Hood, 

Toys R Us and gleaming crowns, whine to get my way, 

Singing of time and priceless joys, fly back I wish I could. 

Journeys to the beach and camping trips, never misunderstood 

Playing in snow and drinking cocoa, waiting up for Santa’s sleigh 

Singing of time and priceless joys, fly back I wish I could. 

Banging on piano keys, trek back to where I stood, 

Chasing butterflies with no life worries is where I want to stay 

Singing of time and priceless joys, fly back I wish I could. 

Planning tea parties and costume balls, living life as we should 

Piggyback rides and field trip fun, skies that were never gray 

Singing of time and priceless joys, fly back I wish I could.
