The sun keeps on shining but my heart feels cold 'cause I can't stop thinking of you you have to be brave, girl that's what I've been told and that's what I'm trying to do When I was a child there was always someone to kiss me and dry all my tears but now I'm a big girl you left me alone, alone with my heartbreaking fears Ref. Sometimes I wish I were a child again when life seemed so easy to me no heartaches to hurt me and no broken dreams just asking my mom what will be sometimes I wish I were a child again my soul was so easily to mend no jealousy tearing my heart into two just little aches and teardrops now and then sometimes I wish I were a child again I'm torn between feelings don't know what to do I'm falling to pieces at night I want you to leave and come back to me too and nothing that I do seems right When I was a child all the sorrows I had were simple and small and so few and I dreamed of angels when I fell asleep but now I keep dreaming of you Ref.
