Intro: /
[listen to the album to get the timing]
Balloons flying, children sighing
What a day to go kite flying
Breeze is cool, away from school
Cowboys fighting out a duel
Time seems to stand quite still
In a child s world it always will
Fishes biting, so exciting
Lunchtime sounds so inviting
At the bill, he gets a thrill
Sitting, watching bobbing quill
Time seems to stand quite still
In a child s world it always will
Yesterday s dreams
Are tomorrow s sighs
Watch children playing
They seem so wise
[repeat intro]
Mary Green today s a queen
One thousand dollies are her dream
In cotton frocks and golden locks
Her palace is an orange box
Time seems to stand quite still
In a child s world it always will
[repeat intro]
