When You Were a Child
When you were a child you were a friend of mine
And I loved you in my way
But though we grew apart, and I lost touch with you
It still seems like yesterday
I haven't seen you in a long time
Oh, but I bet you look the same way you always did
When you were a child you were a friend of mine
And I loved you in my way.
When you were a child you used to paint for me
And I loved you in my way
In time the paintings faded and were set aside
They have now been thrown away
I haven't seen you in a long time
Oh but I bet you look the same way you always did
When you were a child you used to paint for me
And I loved you in my way.
When you were a child you used to laugh for me
And I loved you in my way
But as the laughs turned silver they cost too much
You were far too grown to play
Though I hadn't seen you in a long time
Oh I just knew you'd look the same way you always did
When you were a child you used to laugh for me
And I loved you in my way.
Cuando eras un niño
Cuando eras un niño eras un amigo mío
Y te amaba a mi manera
Pero aunque nos distanciamos y perdí contacto contigo
Todavía parece como si fuera ayer
No te he visto en mucho tiempo
Oh, pero apuesto a que te ves igual que siempre
Cuando eras un niño eras un amigo mío
Y te amaba a mi manera.
Cuando eras un niño solías pintar para mí
Y te amaba a mi manera
Con el tiempo, los cuadros se desvanecieron y fueron apartados
Ahora han sido tirados
No te he visto en mucho tiempo
Oh, pero apuesto a que te ves igual que siempre
Cuando eras un niño solías pintar para mí
Y te amaba a mi manera.
Cuando eras un niño solías reír para mí
Y te amaba a mi manera
Pero a medida que las risas se volvían plateadas, costaban demasiado
Ya eras demasiado grande para jugar
Aunque no te había visto en mucho tiempo
Oh, sabía que te verías igual que siempre
Cuando eras un niño solías reír para mí
Y te amaba a mi manera.
