Lyrics
PLAY THE GAMES (CHILDREN PLAY) ©1995 Frank B. Fileccia & Frank P. Raffa www.onelightonelove.com • email: hotgridl@comcast.net Couldn't wait till I was grown... so much I longed to see. Measured time by the tall grass – how high it stood to me. Before I realized, years began to fade.. The dreams I had of growing up – and what I found... were not the same. CHORUS: So play the games... children play... before old time... steals time away. Got all your life... to be a man... be a boy son... while you can. Your world’s a special place – a garden yet to bloom. A time of loving innocence – with magic in the moon. Hold tight to each moment... though you may not understand... all too soon... the tall grass... gets shorter where you stand. CHORUS Bridge: Get your fishing pole – bat and ball... hit a hole... through the sky. I'll be there to help you... I’ll re-live it through your eyes. DOUBLE CHORUS
