When You Were a Child

Cousins
 When you were a child you were a friend of mine
 And I loved you in my way
 But though we grew apart, and I lost touch with you
 It still seems like yesterday
 I haven't seen you in a long time
 Oh, but I bet you look the same way you always did
 When you were a child you were a friend of mine
 And I loved you in my way.
 When you were a child you used to paint for me
 And I loved you in my way
 In time the paintings faded and were set aside
 They have now been thrown away
 I haven't seen you in a long time
 Oh but I bet you look the same way you always did
 When you were a child you used to paint for me
 And I loved you in my way.
 When you were a child you used to laugh for me
 And I loved you in my way
 But as the laughs turned silver they cost too much
 You were far too grown to play
 Though I hadn't seen you in a long time
 Oh I just knew you'd look the same way you always did
 When you were a child you used to laugh for me
 And I loved you in my way.
