The sun keeps on shining
but my heart feels cold
’cause I can’t stop thinking of you
you have to be brave, girl
that’s what I’ve been told
and that’s what I’m trying to do
When I was a child
there was always someone
to kiss me and dry all my tears
but now I’m a big girl
you left me alone, alone
with my heartbreaking fears
Ref.
Sometimes I wish I were a child again
when life seemed so easy to me
no heartaches to hurt me
and no broken dreams
just asking my mom what will be
sometimes I wish I were a child again
my soul was so easily to mend
no jealousy tearing my heart into two
just little aches and teardrops
now and then
sometimes I wish I were a child again
I’m torn between feelings
don’t know what to do
I’m falling to pieces at night
I want you to leave and
come back to me too
and nothing that I do seems right
When I was a child
all the sorrows I had
were simple and small and so few
and I dreamed of angels
when I fell asleep
but now I keep dreaming of you
