When I was…
When I was a kid
I loved to play at the park.
Now I can´t anymore,
It´s late and already dark.
When I was a teenager
I loved to stay with my friends.
Now I can´t anymore,
There is no time to make emends.
When I was a young guy
I loved to work hard
Now I can´t anymore,
At my hands there are no more cards.
When I was an adult
I loved to relax on holidays
Now I can´t anymore,
All my days are the same way.
When I was growing old,
I loved to play with my grandchildren.
Now I can´t anymore
They don´t have time to be giving.
When I was old,
I loved to walk at the beach.
Now I can´t anymore,
The sand is too far away for my feet to reach.
When I was alive,
I lived well and didn´t realize.
Now I won’t say anymore,
Just don´t let your life summarize.
