G – G/F# G/E D7 G
do you remember days not so very long ago
Em Am D7 D7
when the world was run by people twice your size?
G C
and the days were full of laughter
D G
and the nights were full of stars
Am D G G
and when you grew tired you could close your eyes .

G – G/F# G/E
yes , the stars were there for wishing
D7 G
and the wind was there for kites
Em Am D7 D7
and the morning sun was there for “rise and shine”
G C D G
and even if the sniffles kept you home from school in bed
Am D G G
you couldn’t hardly stay there after nine .
Am D7 G Em
and i wonder if the smell of morning’s faded ,
Am D7 A7 D7
what happened to the robin’s song that sparkled in the sky?
G G – G7 C G
where’s all the water gone that tumbled down a stream?
Am D7 G G
will i ever catch another butterfly?
G – G/F# G/E D7 G
do you remember camp – outs right in your own back yard
Em Am D7 D7
wonderin’ how aeroplanes could fly?
G C D G
and the hours spent just playin’ with a funny rock you found
Am D G G
with crystal specks as blue as all the sky
Am D7 G Em
and i wonder if the smell of morning’s faded ,
Am D7 A7 D7
what happened to the robin’s song that sparkled in the sky?
G G – G7 C G
where’s all the water gone that tumbled down a stream?
Am D7 G G
will i ever catch another butterfly?
G – G/F# G/E D7 G
now i watch my son , he’s playin’ with his toys
Em Am D7 D7
he’s happy and i give him all i can .
G C D G
but i can’t help feelin’ just a little tingly inside
Am D G G
when i hear him say he wants to be a man .
Am D7 G Em
and i wonder if the smell of morning’s faded ,
Am D7 A7 D7
what happened to the robin’s song that sparkled in the sky?
G G – G7 C G
where’s all the water gone that tumbled down a stream?
Am D7 G G
will i ever catch another butterfly?

Am D7 G G
