I Loved Every One Of Them

Play MP3

 

My very extra favourite toy

When I was a little boy

Seven soldiers made of wood

Who played with me like all friends should

 

I loved every one of them

The laughter, the fun of them

I loved every one of them

Heaven knows how

 

When I was an older boy

The camaraderie was joy

The orchard raids, the football teams

The daring and heroic dreams

 

Refrain

 

Later, as a senior boy

When all the girls were smart and coy

The love affairs would last a week

With progress measured by a shriek

 

A young man now, and in my prime

Learning how to take my time

Drinking in each long delight

Chasing daylight into night

 

Refrain

 

A man now, I’ve tasted life

Chosen a willing wife

Burned out the early fires

Dampened down the great desires

 

And no more is the hero cheered

The young dreams have disappeared

Lost in the learning years

Ignored in the earning years

 

Refrain

 

But now into fatherhood

New dreams are coming good

The smiles in my children’s eyes

Bless my life with surprise

 

And once more the hero’s loudly cheered

In dreams that have re-appeared

Found where my memory fails

Found now in fairy tales

 

I love every one of them

The laughter, the fun of them

I love every one of them

Heaven knows how

I love every one of them

The laughter, the fun of them

I love every one of them

Heaven knows how
