I Remember When

I remember when
I was ten years old
Days were longer then
and nights were never cold
We would walk to the water to look for pirates' gold


And I remember how
we dived beneath the waves
Every shell we found
a treasure to be saved
And if you were a hero, then I was Lois Lane


And we had mountains to climb, horses to ride
We had spaceships waiting to take us to the sky
We built castles out of sand
Ran to beat the tide, uh huh


I remember I
was always Cowgirl Sue
We'd ride our bikes,
like Pegasus we flew
No one could catch us cause we were Little Joe and Sue


Mountains to climb, horses to ride
We had spaceships waiting to take us to the sky
We built castles out of sand
Ran to beat the tide, uh huh


And I remember well
now that I am old
Those longer days
and the hunt for pirates' gold
All those memories are stories to be told


Mountains to climb, horses to ride
We had spaceships waiting to take us to the sky
We built castles out of sand
Ran to beat the tide, uh huh
We had mountains to climb, horses to ride
We had spaceships waiting to take us to the sky
We built castles out of sand
Ran to beat the tide, uh huh
We ran to beat the tide, uh, huh
We ran to be the tide, uh, huh
Ran to beat the tide, uh, huh
