Lyrics

Look at the kids on the sandy shore
Watching the tide come in
I used to do the same sweet things
What pleasures it did bring
Picking up pebbles and throwing them into the sea
Watching the white surf carry them on back to me
But now it's all over, I've grown up
It don't seem the same
The things in my childhood I know were all just a game
To sit in my bed and watch the stars
High up in the sky
To say my prayers, then off to sleep
And then to wave them goodbye
Wouldn't it be nice if clocks could be turned back in years
Just to relive the good times and all the good tears
Oh, but it brings joy to see them looking so gay
How I wish I could go back to my childhood days
Look at the kids on the sandy shore
Watching the tide come in
I used to do the same sweet things
What pleasures it did bring
Picking up pebbles and throwing them into the sea
Watching the white surf carry them on back to me
But now it's all over, I've grown up
It don't seem the same
The things in my childhood I know were all just a game
