Hair Of Spun Gold

When I was just the age of five My world had just come live Wonderous things to see and be done All that I could think of was fun With hair of spun gold Lips of ruby red And eyes as deep as the deepest sea When I was just the age of ten My life had been changed again I threw away all my childish toys And worked on getting noticed by boys And when I was just thirteen years of age Going steady was all the rage My mother picked out the cutest boy My little leather-jacketed toy And hair of spun gold Turned to black as night And the ruby red lips Turned to pale pink When I was fifteen years of age He had my hand in marriage And when fifteen years of age In my arms I held my babe And now I'm twenty-one And I feel my life's over and done And I'm looking down on my little child Wondering, wondering if she'll be so wild She's got hair of spun gold Lips of ruby red And eyes as deep as the deepest sea When I'm looking down on my little child I swear she'll have the time There'll be time to love There'll be time to learn But childish memories she won't burn We'll find time to laugh We'll find time to play She won't have to throw her toys away I swear to you we'll wait for time To take its time
