Music: Gerry Goffin, Carole King I think I'm goin back To the things I learned so well in my youth I think I'm returning to those days when I was young enough to know the truth Now there are no games to only pass the time No more colouring books, no more trees to climb Thinking young and growing older is no sin And I can play the game of life to win
I can recall the time When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend And now I think I've got a lot more than a skipping rope to lend Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide And every day can be my magic carpet ride I can play hide and seek with my fears And live my days instead of counting my years
A little bit of courage is all we lack So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back
