Sometimes life has a funny way
Of reminding us we’re ok
When you close your eyes
Nothing but peace until sunrise
So gather round the campfire tonight
Let’s let our spirits take flight
And take us back to a simpler time
Let’s lose ourselves, no tears sunshine
Slowly crawling along the way
Youth has a way of slipping away
There were times when I wanted to call
There were times when I had no one at all
We had more than enough time to mend
But that time has come and gone
So when you grow weary with time,
Think of when there were no tears sunshine
Smile, laugh but baby don’t cry
Think of when there were no tears sunshine

Wisdom is an accumulation. Enjoy every moment of your youth because it only keeps slipping away more and more with each passing day.
