When I was a child
A
So wild and free
D
Sometimes I'd stumble
A
Or fall from a tree
E
But I didn't worry
A
And I didn't care
E
I knew that my daddy
A
Would always be there
E
Oh, he was my friend
A
When no one could play
D
Never too busy
A E
Oh, he'd find a way
A E
Then off we would ramble
A
With the wind in our hair
E
I knew that my daddy
A
Would always be there
G D
But time has no mercy
A
For the growing young soul
G D
It leaves us with memories
A D A G Am D
While it makes us grow old
A E
I left my home
A
When school days were through
D
With visions of freedom
A E
Oh, and dreams to come true
A E
I've never worried
A
And I've never cared
E
I knew that my daddy
A
Would always be there

A
One night while travelling
E A
Word came by phone
D
The message was simple
A E
You're needed at home
A
For once I did worry
E A
For once I did care
E
I prayed that my daddy
D
Would wait for me there

Time has no mercy__

For the growing young soul

But time has no mercy__

For the growing young soul

While it makes us grow old

It makes us grow old
