VERSE1
One day as I was walking down the street Where I used to run a play
I could see that little boy Just a riding all around a summers day
Then the world was younger As he found his way
Then the days were longer With so much to say
Ooh What a wonderful time Ooh What a wonderful time
|
VERSE2
Soon the years had passed And I found myself further down the road
I was walking down the street Where I got to see my children grow
Then their eyes were younger With such an innocent glow
Then the days seem shorter And they never let it show
Ooh It was a wonderful time Ooh It was a wonderful time
|
VERSE3
Now theyre all grown up And theyve started down a road of their own
And I am in a place where I get To settle down and take it slow
Now the world moves faster As the seasons come and go
Now the days are brighter With an early morning glow
Ooh Its such a wonderful time Ooh Its such a wonderful time

(VERSE4 ADDED FOR VERSION2)

VERSE4
And so one day my children will be walking Down their streets of memories
And they will see their younger selves And remember just how it used to be
By then the world is newer Just like it was for me
By then the futures clearer With many hopeful things to see
Ooh What a wonderful time Ooh What a wonderful time
