It might look to you like nothing much to see
|
But you should see the way it feels to me
|
Here's the sidewalk I used to ride my bike
|
Down this little slope, down my little mountain
|
Start by the driveway spinning up to speed
|
Careful on the gravel 'cause it's nasty on the knees
|
Watch out for the branches on that apple tree
|
Soar down to the corner
|
|
Well I guess it's not as high as I remember
|
It might not be a mountain after all
|
But it was hard enough to climb
|
And steep enough to coast
|
Long enough to satisfy
|
And fast enough to boast
|
|
It may look to you like nothing much to see
|
But you should see the way it feels to me
|
|
Here's the treehouse, I used to spend my night
|
Up this little tree, way up in my mansion
|
Jump to the first brach, walk it upside down
|
Careful of your grip 'cause it's a long way to the ground
|
Better get a handhold before you look around
|
You can see into forever
|
|
Well I guess it's not as high as I remember
|
It might not be a mansion after all
|
But it was hard enough to climb
|
And safe enough to sleep
|
Big enough to satisfy
|
And home enough for me
|
|
It may look to you like nothing much to see
|
But you should see the way it feels to me
|
|
Here's the old man who used to be the child
|
So long ago, not so very long though
|
Look at the memory, think of all those years
|
Looking through the sparkle of the sunlight in the tears
|
Better take another look before you disappear
|
You can see across your lifetime
|
|
So I look at where I've come and where I'm going
|
I will never be the greatest after all
|
But it was hard enough to climb
|
To get to where I've been
|
Love enough to satisfy
|
And life enough to live
|
|
I make look to you like nothing much to be
|
But you should see the way it feels to me
|
You should see the way it feels to me
