LYRICS
When I was a very young child
We lived in a suburb by the riverside
And if I really try hard to recall
I see things that may not even happened at all
I thought I remembered a park near by
We’d climb an old tree a-way up high
We imagined ourselves being princes and queens
And played out the spirited conquest scenes
When we would surrender
To stories and daydreams
Of glories and ice cream
We wanted for nothin’
Were hopeful and trustin’
Remember the feelin’
Of daydream believin’
My mom would take us in the car we’d go
We headed out with the neighbor’s kids in tow
And in the back seat, we would play and fight
We got to the cottage by the afternoon light
I think I remember the best times we had
Competing in a make-believe Olympiad
We were leapin’ off docks and makin’ waves
And we went rowin’ and canoein’, explorin’ the caves
Such a picture-perfect place to recall
What it was like when we had it all
Our innocence is how we lived
In our ideal world, when we were kids
#instrumental
Let’s try to remember
When we would surrende
To stories and daydream
Of glories and ice cream
We wanted for nothin’
Were hopeful and trustin
Remember the feelin’
Of daydream believin’
Without inhibition in the front yard
We built forts and stages on which we starred
We put on shows for the neighbors there
And there was magic in the air
So try to remember just how it felt
To be so little and what it meant
To just be young, believe in dreams
We were wiser then, or so it seems
Let’s try to remember
When we would surrender
To stories and daydreams
Of glories and ice cream
We wanted for nothin’
Were hopeful and trustin’
Remember the feelin’
Of daydream believin’
Oh Remember the feelin’
Of daydream believin’
