I was a child

There were trees, life was mild

We would run in the grass of our own

Backyard

Mr. Green sold his plums

Across the street, he would leave a sign

Please leave 25p in the box
F A#
To the side, what a sight
F A#
All the kids passing by

On their cycling bikes

And to school they would ride

D Gm
Every day around five
D Gm
A cup of tea to warm inside

It reminded us all that a friend
F A#
Was close by anytime
F A#
Neighbors lending an eye
D Gm
To ensure you were fine
D Gm
Love was meant to be kind
A#
I would learn soon

That I would love too
F A#
And as time passes by
F A#
Leaving all this behind
D Gm
Our sweet home now revives

And it always will shine

That I would leave too
