Change

Once I laughed, loved, and played
Yes, I laughed
At the dandelions tickling beneath my toes
And at the faces I saw each day
At funny jokes, and simple days
I could laugh until the sun came down
Oh yes, I laughed

Once I laughed, loved, and played
Yes, I loved
The air I breathed and every little thing
Birds humming sweet melodies
And people who meant something to me
I could love just about anything
Oh yes, I loved

Once I laughed, loved and played
Yes, I played
Through the bushes, the trees, and shrubs
With friends who loved me so dear
I ran through life so quickly, I did
I could play all day if you let me
Oh yes, I played

Once I laughed, loved and played
And then my life changed
