Were I Sixteen

What would I do... Were I sixteen?

I'd build sandcastles, splash in streams;

I'd romp the hills and meadows green,

Were I sixteen.

I'd watch the stars come out at night

And wish on every one in sight.

My dreams would soar on angels' wings,

Were I sixteen.

I'd make my plans for future years

And have no time for wasted tears.

I'd spend my time on special things,

Were I sixteen.

I'd pick someone to be my friend

And bare my soul for nights on end.

I'd take my chance on hurt and pain,

Were I sixteen...again.
