Who could ever forget the old times?
When "Mary Had a Little Lamb" was our favorite rhyme
When we only got hurt when we skinned our knee
Only would cry when we'd see it bleed
Put a Band-Aid on and give it a kiss
Then our lives would go on in happy bliss
Who could ever forget the old days?
When our moms put our hair in all different ways
When we only looked in the mirror when we were playing dress-up
Only got yelled at when we spilled the make-up
Take a towel and wash it off
Still our faces smooth and soft
Who could ever forget the past?
When we found pleasure in playing in long grass
When we'd spend our time catching frogs
And chasing cats with the dogs
Laugh when the cat climbed up the tree
Up to where the dog couldn't see
Who could ever forget yesterday?
When we'd hang out and call it play
When all those boys were gross to us
When we had to be nice we would fuss
"Go away, we don't want you!"
Back then we didn't have a clue
Who could ever forget just recently?
When those males were all we could see
When they became guys, not boys
When we called them our play toys
Flirt with them, wink, and smile
Still they didn't give us much trial
Who could ever forget today?
When we put our heart on display
When he held it in his hands
When he told us he understands
Just break my heart once
See all the damage it has done
Who could ever imagine tomorrow?
Will it bring us happiness or sorrow?
Will the sun shine so bright?
Will the clouds cover the light?
Bow your head and pray
Never forget there will always be another day
