Lyrics
Listening to the sound of breaking waves
Enjoying life?s simplicity
Take my troubles now and wash away
Bring back childhood memories
Watching children play and laugh all day
They?re too young too understand
They think life can?t be much harder than
Building castles in the sand
And I don?t want to have to grow up now
I wish that I could be forever young
There is so much that I have to do
So many songs that never will get sung
I wish we all could love like children do
They give their love away
Innocence is something you can?t regain
Once life steals your faith
And I don?t want to have to grow up now
I wish that I could be forever young
There is so much that I have to do
So many songs that never will get sung
Music Bridge
And I don?t want to have to grow up now
I wish that I could be forever young
There is so much that I have to do
So many songs that never will get sung
I wish that I could be forever young
