I got some pictures of us we're all at the shore I must have been four then I couldn't be more my father was holding me up just for show my mother was posing like Marilyn Monroe they taught me a song that I never forgot little things mean a lot Play me one of the songs and you take me over the fields and the farms When I was a boy and life was a joy I never got old Sing me one of the songs and you got me rock me to sleep in your arm The way that you did when I was a kid in the summers of Clover Here is another ride I never did lie Then I ran away on that old broken down bike When your baby brother came home that same day I guess I just figured I'd be in the way They brought me with marbles and chocolate ice cream And all I have to do is dream Play me one of the songs and you take me over the fields and the farms When I was a boy and life was a joy I never got old Sing me one of the songs and you got me rock me to sleep in your arm The way that you did when I was a kid in the summers of Clover Take me away Take me away
