lyrics

When I was little, we’d drive for a lesson at Mrs. McKenna’s house / I learned to play the piano at the foot of her carpeted stairs / The light would shine down on my hands and she’d hold up the books and my mother would watch from behind in a chair / Now that I’m older, I like to remember when I was little / When I was little we’d walk round the corner for lunch at my grandma’s house / I’d play her my songs and then flip through the channels to find shows for kids / The strange taste of buttered peanut butter and jelly, and milk from the Donald Duck cup with the plastic yellow lid / Now that I’m older, I like to remember when I was little / Cousins and big wheels and My Little Ponies / Brewers on the radio next to the grill / Watching the ceiling while listening to stories / Sounding out lyrics that I couldn’t spell / When I was little, I’d run with a ribbon, and Fradycat chased me round the house / I had a Fisher Price tape player I’d bring to sing on my swings / Primary memories in primary colors through Snoopy sunglasses and my baby brother asleep / Now that I’m older, I like to remember when I was little / The flood in the basement that ruined my playhouse / Waiting so long to play one April fool / Laughing and bouncing the springs of the mattress / The ridges of rubber on top of my stool / Drawing a heart on the leg of the table / The hand of the nurse in the hospital hall / My very first taste of garden tomato / Such a big world for a person so small / Now that I’m older, I like to remember when I was little / Now that I’m older, I watch you, and I wonder what you’ll remember from when you were little
