When I Was Younger

Liz Lawrence

When I was younger
I told my mother 
I said one day I'm gonna make you proud
Now that I'm older
It's so much harder
To say those words out loud

You're growing taller 
A little smarter
And one day you're gonna leave home
Oh will you look like your mothers father
Oh when you are fully grown

Ooh ooh ohh oh oh oh...

When I was younger 
I asked my father 
Why are we so human 
Now that I'm older
I think I figured it out
We're just doing what we can 

oh oooh oh oh...

'Cause I won't 
I won't lay you down 
I won't lay you 
I won't I won't lay you down, oh no
I won't 
I won't lay you down 
I won't lay you 
I won't I won't lay you down

When I was younger 
I told my mother
I said one day I'm gonna make you proud
