Candy-coated dreams unwrap tonight
Lollipops and gumdrops make it right
Skipping on the sidewalk sunshine bright
Innocence and laughter pure delight
Imaginary friends in the backyard
Building castles from a deck of cards
Hopscotch chalk lines painted hard
Childhood memories never scarred
Swinging high above the trees
Summer nights with fireflies
Hide and seek and scraped up knees
World so big in tiny eyes
Ice cream trucks with jangly songs
Riding bikes down streets so long
Penny candy for a nickel strong
Innocence where we belong
Catching rainbows in a jar
Wishing on the first found star
Dreams were never very far
Childhood wonders set the bar
Swinging high above the trees
Summer nights with fireflies
Hide and seek and scraped up knees
World so big in tiny eyes
