Remember When

Remember when
The tooth fairy left you a dollar
The anticipation the night before
Of morning excitement you’d holler

Remember when
Watching cartoons on TV
How grand life was then
And still so much more to see

Remember when
You discovered music in your ears
You’re tapping fingers and toes
To the rhythmic beat you hear

Remember when
Suddenly, no interest in your toys
Instead a strange attraction
Between girls and boys

Remember when
You felt that first pull of love
That face always on your mind
And wishing on stars above

Remember when
It didn’t matter which way you turned
That internal flame of love
Like an endless fire it burns
