Lyrics:

I was looking at my daughter
on her new bike that I bought her
Every second she was falling.
In the evening very proudly she came calling
"I´am big now!" is what she told me.
She could cycle and she showed me
and I saw a glimpse of me there
riding around in grandma´s garden long ago

Back in time, I wish I could go back in time
The clock is ticking much too fast
it`s easy if you do not know
those days will never last
Back in time, I wish I could go back in time
When people kept the pain way
if could only be a kid for just one day

People always try to please you.
People always hug and squeeze you
When you`re little, life`s exciting
so the thought of growing up becomes inviting
Then you struggle till you get there
and you realize that you`re nowhere
So you`re wishing for your patents.
They`re the only ones
who`ve never let down

I was looking at my daughter
on her new bike that I bought her
It was early, it was raining.
It was time to go to school,
she was complaining
"I don`t want to" is what she told me.
She was pouting and trying to hold me
and I saw a glimpse of me there
and I knew that life was easy after all!
