Life is short and it sure flies by
Even yesterday's gone away
One day you're learning what's wrong from right
The next you're well on your way
Now I don't claim to know
The secret to staying young
And full of life But the good Lord knows
The older I get It helps to think
What life was like
When I was twelve in Eldorado
Fireworks lit up the sky
Running free
like the tornadoes Wild and restless in the night
That last summer after
high school Man, haven't I felt more alive?
I hope I'll always remember what it's like
Through a
child's eyes
Do you remember what days were like
Before the world became a scary place?
Some lose their faith and some lose
their sight Of what really matters anyway
Now I don't claim to know The secret
to keep our candles burning bright
But I sure hope The older I get I don't forget what life was like
When I was twelve in Eldorado
Fireflies lit up the sky
For my sweet sixteen that I couldn't wait
for I got those keys and took a drive
Yeah, that last
summer playing softball What I'd give to go back in time
Oh, I hope I'll
always remember what it's like Through a child's eyes
Getting grown
takes its toll
But in my mind I know that I can always go
So when I was twelve in Eldorado
I was twelve in Eldorado
Open fields of butterflies
With my daddy watching baseball
In that dome built to the sky Yeah,
that last summer after high school
Before we spread our
wings to fly Oh,
I hope I'll always remember what it's like
