When I Was Little

(Lookin' at my Instagrams)

(Oof)

When I was little, a 1-2-3

When I was little we didn't have email

So I had to write a letter to my grand ma-ma

So I found myself some paper and I wrote down with pencil

And I stamped a stamp and put it in the mail

But oh, that was then

You could say I love you to the paper and pen

And then send it in letters to family and friends

When I was little we didn't have I-Tunes

You had to buy a record at the record store

You would put it on the player and then hook it to a speaker

And then sing and dance and jump up on the couch

But oh, that was then

You could say I love you when the record began

And then turn back the arm to play it again

When I was little we didn't have cellphones

So it was much harder to make a call

You would memorize the number

Or you'd find it in the phonebook

And your phone was often stuck up on a wall

But oh, hold the phone

Be sure that you wait to hear the dial tone

Because most of your calls were made when you got home

Now that I'm older and things are moving faster

I still like to buy records at the record store

But I will send an email or I'll be your friend on Facebook

Or I'll text a funny message from my phone

But oh, now and then

I will say I love you with paper and pen

'Cause no matter what changes, we'll always be friends

And there'll always be love and some paper and pens
