Sometimes I wish I could just be a little kid again. So…
“Sometimes I wish I could just be a little kid again. So when life gets tough you can just play pretend. I wanna go back to when Santa did exist. When your daddy was the only boy you ever miss. When Disney World was the best place to be. When the only movies you could see were rated G. When your biggest problem was learning to write your name. When people didn't change and your friends were the same. And every time you were sad or you had a bad day. .You could just run to mommy and it would all be okay. I wanna go back to no hurt and no pain..just full of laughter. When everyone always lives happily ever after.”
