    Yesterday a child came out to wonder,   
      C                      F                G     Bb   
    caught a dragonfly inside a jar,   
      C                       F                     Em   
    fearful when the sky was full of thunder,   
             F                  C      G       C   
    and tearful at the falling of a star.   

        C                             F                                C            G   
    Then the child moved ten times 'round the seasons,   
        C              F                           G         Bb   
    skated over ten clear frozen streams.   
        C                                    F                     Em   
    Words like, when you're older, must appease him,   
              F                C              G              C   
    and promises of someday make his dreams.   

  
                C                         F               C   
And the seasons, they go'round and round,   
               C                          F           C   
and the painted ponies go up and down,   
F                                                      C   
    we're captive on a carousel of time.   
F                                                           Em                            F   
    We can't return, we can only look behind from where we came   
              C                                                      G       C          F C F

    Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now,   
      C                         F                                   G          Bb   
    cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town.   
                   C                             F                       Em   
    And you tell him, Take your time, it won't be long now,   
                  F                         C          G         C

                         C                                   F                        G        Bb   
    though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true.   
                        C                              F                             Em   
    There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams, and plenty,   
         F                      C          G           C   
    before the last revolving year is through.
