When I was young, we walked to school
And I carried your books 'cause even then I was a fool
But you grew up and said goodbye
I still remember the things that made me cry
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bee+gees/i+was+the+child_20015527.html ]
For all too soon my story ends
I found a love now not even friends
Why loving you, loving me like you used to do
I was the child

I held your hand and I told you things
And I made you believe, believe in fairy tales
And diamond rings

Then all too soon my story ends
I found a love now not even friends
Tell me why loving you, loving me like you used to do
I was the child
