Do you remember when you where seven? And the only thing that you wanted to do Was show your mum that you could play the piano Ten years have passed And the one thing that lasts Is that same old song that we played along and made my mumma cry I miss those days and I miss those ways When I got lost in fantasies In a cartoon land of mysteries In a place you won't grow old in a place you won't feel cold and I'll sing Da da da da da da da da da da da da Seems I'm lost in my reflection Da da da da da da da da da da da da Find a star for my direction Da da da da da da da da da da da da For the little girl inside who won't just hide Don't let me see mistakes and lies Let me keep my faith and innocent eyes My innocent eyes Do you remember when you were fifteen? And the kids at school called you a fool 'cause you took the chance to dream In the time that's past and the one thing that lasts Is that same old song that we played along and made my daddy cry I miss those days and I miss those ways When I got lost in fantasies In a cartoon land of mysteries In a place you won't grow old in a place you won't feel cold and I'll sing Da da da da da da da da da da da da Seems I'm lost in my reflection Da da da da da da da da da da da da Find a star for my direction Da da da da da da da da da da da da For the little girl inside who won't just hide Don't let me see mistakes and lies Let me keep my faith and innocent eyes My innocent eyes Under my feeling under my skin Under the thoughts from within Learning the subtext Of the mind See creation how where defined Da da da da da da da da da da da da Seems I'm lost in my reflection Da da da da da da da da da da da da Find a star for my direction Da da da da da da da da da da da da For the little girl inside who won't just hide Don't let me see mistakes and lies Let me keep my faith and innocent eyes My innocent eyes
