Time come back 
Where have you gone 
Such short of time 
In a span so long 
 
I remember vividly 
Like it was yesterday 
When I was a little girl 
Outside at play 
 
My brother and I 
Would get up before dawn 
Without waking mom 
Put our play clothes on 
 
We would make sure 
We would put dirty ones on 
From the day before 
Trying to please mom 
 
We would be at play 
When mom would wake 
Making mud pies 
Taking time to bake 
 
We would ride our bikes 
It seems all day 
Not a care in the world 
As we would play 
 
In the fields of hay 
We would run up 
Rolling to the bottom 
In the evening sun 
 
The train sounds echo 
I do recall 
I hear in the distance 
That roaring song 
 
Night would come 
Oh, so quick 
Where did the day go 
As time would tick 
 
Before we ended the day 
The lightening bugs would light 
As we ran with our jars 
In the dark of night 
 
Mom would call 
Kids it's time to come in 
You got to get your baths 
Don't make me yell again 
 
Thirty years ago 
Seems like yesterday 
Memories I cherish 
My brother and I at play
