Verse 1: When I was a child and the world was bright and new, Life was like a game and I knew just what to do. Playing on the beach, throwing pebbles in the sea; Living for today, fancy free... Time drifted Bye, the child has grown, As a man wakes from a dream I look around... What has been lost? What has been found? Instrumental break. Verse 2: How the years have flown, since that child played on the beach; Careless pebbles thrown which the sea stole out of reach Tides have ebbed and flowed and the dreams that I had planned: Like those pebbles, lost in the sand Where are they Now - those golden days? Like the tune I used to whistle while I played... Inside my mind, The feeling stays... Tag: Golden land... Those childhood days... Inside my mind: Golden land! Verse 3: (optional) When I was a child and the world was bright and new, Life was like a game and I knew just what to do. Playing on the beach, throwing pebbles in the sea; Living for today, fancy free... I must have Slept - have I grown old? Wrinkled fingers turn the page, the story's told: Of lovers sweet, Of warriors bold... Tag: Golden land... Those childhood days, Inside my mind... Golden land!
